Resize score sets

You can resize a score set to between 50 and 200 percent of its original size. Scaling affects the
staffs in the score, the distance between staffs, all symbols associated with staffs (notes, rests,
and other symbols), text (including lyrics), and the thickness of slurs and ties. Scaling doesn’t
affect global text objects (header text, or text inserted outside the margins) and text such as
page numbers.

Scaling also doesn’t affect instrument parts that are created by extracting parts (as described
below; see

Extract parts from the score

on page 706). This lets you use the same staff styles for

both full scores and parts. In extracted parts, the staffs appear at their original size; in the full
score, their size is defined by the Scale parameter.

Scale a score set

m

Select the score set in the Score Sets window, then set the Scale parameter to a new value.

Note: Because the All Instruments score set can’t be edited (and therefore, can’t be scaled), you
must create a dedicated score set for the full score, in most cases.

Create separate layouts for a full score and parts

You can define separate layout parameters for a full score and its parts, then choose which
parameters a score set uses.

Create separate layout parameters for a full score and parts

1

Open the Global Score project settings by choosing File > Project Settings > Score (or use the

Open Score Project Settings key command), then click the Global tab.

The Global pane offers separate page layout parameters for score and parts.

2

Edit the score and part layout parameters, including the top, bottom, left, and right margins;

header space; line distance; and maximum number of bars per line.

Choose the layout parameters used by a score set

m

In the Score Sets window, choose either Score or Parts from the Format pop-up menu.

For the default All Instruments score set, the Score format is used, except when a single region is
displayed. In this case, the Parts format is used.
