Getting ready to print 11/17
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2019 7:23 pm
Hello, My full Orchestra piece medley has 32 staves. I need to print the score. (Orchestra parts are fine)
I went into page layout - page size and clicked 11/17 tabloid. The notes seemed awful small to read because there are 32 staves. Should I enlarge the note heads to 36 font? Or is this done by the print shop and the enlargement they do through the PDF.
I understand hiding empty staves and I know this will also help. How many staves do I hide if only a few instruments are playing.
Some pages everyone is playing to end a piece. Again notes, stems seem small.
I am probably overthinking this whole thing. But this all I have left to do. Get it ready for print. ANY advise would be greatly appreciated.
