This is very useful. I'm glad there are some using 11x14 because that
would be my preference. Legal length is a really bad compromise, and

I have to agree with Christopher on 11 x 17 tabloid. I do print a LOT of
orchestra scores here, and I also have the luxury of a coil binding machine,
and it has always worked out fabulously. So ask your questions when
researching a print shop and be sure they have everything they need on hand
