>What is the best size to print piano scores especially for libraries? I don't think there is any one "best" size. It depends on the music and what your goals are.
That said, 83.33% (ie, five-sixths) is fairly standard for classical piano. In the absence of any good reason to pick a different size, I would consider that the default choice. I frequently use 75% instead (very common for classical piano-vocal music, which is what most of my work is). I print on an 8.5 x 11 page with sufficient margins to accommodate laser printing and/or binding. Traditional piano music uses a slightly larger page size: the image still fits on 8.5x11, but the larger page gives room to have almost no extra margin. The 75% gives me approximately the same system-per-page fit as 83.33% gives on traditional paper size. If I use 83.33% on my page size, it sometimes gets uncomfortably crowded. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
