Zoom dialog box

How to get there

  • Choose View > Zoom > Other.
  • Type CTRL+0.

What it does

In this dialog box, you can specify the size at which you want the score displayed on your screen, expressed as a percentage of its actual size. In other words, you can zoom in to magnify fine details of your score or zoom out if you want to see many staves at once. Note that this screen display size has nothing to do with the printed size of the music.

  • Zoom To: ___ %. Enter the percentage by which you want the screen display enlarged or reduced. Type 200, for example, to zoom in so that the music is displayed at twice its normal size.
  • OK • Cancel. Click OK (or press ENTER) to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the changes you’ve made and return to the score.

Tip: To change the size of the printed music, use the Resize tool icon.
