Resize score sets
You can resize a score set to between 50 and 200 percent of its original size. Scaling aects the
stas in the score, the distance between stas, all symbols associated with stas (notes, rests,
and other symbols), text (including lyrics), and the thickness of slurs and ties. Scaling doesn’t
aect global text objects (header text, or text inserted outside the margins) and text such as
page numbers.
Scaling also doesn’t aect 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 sta styles for
both full scores and parts. In extracted parts, the stas appear at their original size; in the full
score, their size is dened 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 dene 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 oers 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.
