Hello,

I would like to know where I can see the measurement size of the staff.

Thanks,

Document Menu > Page Format > Score or Document Menu > Page Format > Parts. Be aware if any individual staves have been resized with the Resize Tool (%) you'll have to click the staff with that tool to see the setting.

In Documents/Page format for score or parts, you'll see "Resulting system scaling" = 85% or some such. Apply that percentage to the nominal staff size of 0.3333 inches to get the printed staff height.

If "Scale page to" and "Scale system to" are both 100%, then you can just read the staff height in the dialog:

EDIT: N beat me to it, but I'll leave it here.
