Some questions: - what are you inserting it *into*? - what resolution are you exporting at? Microsoft products (Word, especially) actually do an excellent job of scaling graphics (though you can't necessarily tell onscreen). Other programs are less successful, in my experience. For export resolution, you want to choose at least the resolution you want to print at. If you're inserting it into a Finale score, choose the exact print resolution for decent output. I've never actually done this, so can't say how it works (my printer is currently broken, so I can't test -- what I see onscreen looks as if it will be OK, but I can't say for certain). I printed my test page to PDF and it looks fairly good onscreen, but at 400% shows definite problems in the graphics. But that is to be expected when viewing scalable fonts versus a bitmap. You'll never know for certain until you print, but I would definitely say you want your TIFF resolution to be the same as your output resolution. Now, I don't know if a page % reduction applies to graphics or not, but it should be easy to test. -- David W.
