Staff Metrics Dilemma

When I change Staff Metrics under Page Setup, sometimes the score remains the same size, sometimes I can make it larger but not smaller, sometimes I can make it smaller but not larger, and sometimes I have no problem at all.  Changing fonts absolutely changes the printout size, as shown by a quick look at Print Preview.  At times, I have a score that is very small on the screen but very large in Print Preview.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
Steve

The Staff Metrics commands change the printout, but have only an indirect effect on the screen display. To change the size of the staff on the screen, use "zoom in" and "zoom out". You'll find those commands on the "view" menu. (You can also use the magnifying glass icons in the button bar, or the keyboard shortcuts <alt><+> and <alt><->.)

NWC is not a WYSIWYG program - it just looks that way.

Regards,

Bill
