Notation Player offers two ways to view a score on the screen: Window View and Page View.

In Window View, Notation Player arranges the pages of the score as though the page size were exactly the size of the window. If you change the window size, Notation Player will automatically and quickly repaginate the score for the new "page size", which is, in this case, the window size.

In Page View, Notation Player displays an image of the page as it would be printed, which is usually larger than what can be seen all at once in the window. Therefore, in Page View, Notation Player usually displays scrollbars that enable you to scroll horizontally and/or vertically in the page. In Page View you can view the entire page by using the Zoom Out command.

 

TIP: Page View is the same thing as Print Preview.
 
Some software programs offer a Print Preview command, which enables you to preview pages exactly as they would be printed. Notation Player's Page View command does the same thing. Please note that Player does not print scores but is a viewer and audio audition player only.

 

In Window View, Notation Player evenly spaces the measures so that the barline of the last visible measure is right-justified in the window. As many measures are displayed as can comfortably fit horizontally. If more than one system (also called a "line", which includes multiple staves) can be displayed in the window, then multiple systems are displayed. If only one system can be displayed, but it has more staves (tracks) than can be shown without crowding, then the window adds a vertical scrollbar that enables you to view the lower staves.

In Page View, Notation Player simulates the layout of the notation symbols as they would appear on a printed page.
