Zooming the Window

Composer enables you to change the magnification of the score displayed on the screen. "Zooming in" increases the magnification so that the music symbols appear larger. "Zooming out" makes the symbols appear smaller, so that more of the musical score appears at once in the window.

Although you can specify exact zoom percentage levels with the Zoom Percentage command in the View menu, Composer may limit small zoom values to 30% or 40% if you are using Windows 95, 98, or Millennium. On Windows NT, 2000 and XP, Composer can handle arbitrarily small zoom levels.

NOTE:
Changing the zoom level affects only the size of music symbols as displayed on the screen. To change the size of music symbols as printed, use the Font Size and Spacing command in the Score menu.

To change the zoom level:

1.      Choose the Zoom command in the View menu, and the Zoom In or Zoom Out command from the Zoom submenu.

2.      Type Z+ to zoom in, or Z+ to zoom out.

3.      In the toolbar, click the button to zoom in, or the button to zoom out.

4.      To change the zoom level to a specific percentage magnification, choose the Zoom command in the Zoom menu, and the Zoom Percentage command in the Zoom submenu.

To reset the zoom level back to 100%:
