What it does

This dialog box lets you specify how much you want to reduce or enlarge all the music (as well as text and expressions) on a page of your score (or many pages); if you wish, you can also change the actual page dimensions in the process.

Resize Page to ___%. The number in this text box specifies how much you want to resize the page, expressed as a percentage of the original full size.
Hold Margins. If you select this item, you won’t actually change the dimensions of the page itself, only the music itself. The result is that a different amount of music will fit on a page. (Be sure to choose Utilities > Update Layout when you’re finished, so you can see the effects of your resizing on the number of measures that fit on a line.) See Resize Staff System dialog box for an illustration.
