Shrinking Large Score Font
In the attached score, I can only go down as far as 7 for font size when exported as a pdf. I get different error codes for 6 and 5, although both say "could not create the pdf".
If you look at the pdf for font size 7, there are still a number of places that get mashed together. Any suggestions? Ralph Rayner |

Re: Shrinking Large Score Font
Hi Ralph,
I was able to export a pdf using a default font size of 5. However, in looking through the font sizes for your file, I saw that Instrument Names had a font setting of 5.6 - this may have been the culprit. Alternatively, the exported pdf file size is around 6 Mb, so if your computer doesn't have enough memory that may have choked it (at least for the Conductor's Score.) Please try
ttfn, Sherry

Re: Shrinking Large Score Font
Hi Sherry,
I tried your suggestion and got halfway through the export before aborting: The PDF file could not be created. Error Code: 6 This is my new laptop, running Windows 10. I appear to have 15.9 GB usable RAM. Just to make certain that I have done as you have instructed, I will attach the file implementing your suggestions. Ralph |

Re: Shrinking Large Score Font
Hi Ralph,
Then it must be the "Instrument Names" font size that is at issue - it is still set at 5.6 in your file. (see step 3 in my steps below) Please take a look at Format/Font Styles, and then click on "Instrument Names" in the list at the bottom. You'll see that the Point Size is set at 5.6, rather than having the "Use default point size" box checked. Try checking the "Use default point size" box for the Instrument Names and see if that makes it work. ttfn, Sherry

Re: Shrinking Large Score Font
No cigar, Sherry. I have made the suggested change, and now the Code 6 happens immediately. See attached.

Re: Shrinking Large Score Font
Hi Ralph,
Hmmm.... I can get a pdf from it fine here, but I'm using Win 7 The exported pdf from the file in Post 5 is slightly larger than the Post 1 file, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. So, just to make sure we're doing exactly the same thing, here are the exact steps that I'm taking:
ttfn, Sherry
