Printing: Fitting page

2013-08-23 02:49 pm

When I hit Print Review, I see that the score is fitted onto 1 page. Because the notes are too small to read, I wish to print on 2 pages, thus zooming the written notes.
How to do?

First go to "Page Setup" under the File Menu or the "open book" icon on the toolbar. Click Fonts. The top line will read Staff Metrics. Click on Change and increase "Staff Size". After you click OK, there is a "Preview" button on the right.

Adding to what Warren advised:
The default size for new music's "Staff metrics", is "16pt", which is fairly small.
I've found that 20pt, (or 22pt) work better for music which is to be read from a music stand.
This may also require (indivually) increasing the vertical sizes of the staves:
F2 > Visual > (then adjust) Upper and/or lower.

If necessary:
Make a change for a staff, check with print preview.
If satisfied, SAVE, else revert by pressing "ctrl + z"
(or using the "UNDO" button)
