I have been trying to resize the notes and staff to make it easier to read, but when i enlarge the height it squeezes the width and i cant lengthen the staff to match so i end up with an unreadable sheet of music, i cant see where i am going wrong, print doesn't allow a lanscape option or preview as far as i can find either...

BrianG,

The help file and staff height help topic have more on this. Assuming you want the staff to go all the way across the page, you probably won't need to change the staff width. Just remember that making the height bigger squeezes notes together as fewer big notes fit on each line.

Had a look at the other topic.... thats the problem when it prints it doesn't resize it... its all squeezed together which makes it useless, and if i print at default its too small for me to read properly.

the print function doesn't allow you to preview the image or anything which makes it really frustrating to use.

BrianG,

Could you attach the file you're having trouble with, and tell us what kind of printer you have and the vertical and horizontal staff size you want for printing? Thanks.
