Shrinking Large Score Font

[Sherry C]

Hi Ralph,

Hmmm.... I can get a pdf from it fine here, but I'm using Win 7 The exported pdf from the file in Post 5 is slightly larger than the Post 1 file, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with it.

So, just to make sure we're doing exactly the same thing, here are the exact steps that I'm taking:

1. Open the file from Post 5. (I also double-checked to make sure all the Format/Font Styles settings were for a default of 5, in case there was an issue with those settings "sticking".)
2. Use File/Export PDF
3. Select the Conductor's Score only
4. Click OK to begin the export. It goes fairly quickly through the first 80% of the export, then slows considerably, then finishes.

Is there anything that you are doing differently than the above?


ttfn,
Sherry

Yes, I fail immediately. No write activity visible.

We're heading home tonight. I will try it on my Windows 7 desktop. Thanks.

Hi Sherry,

PDF Export worked fine on my Windows 7 desktop, with less RAM. There is either a Windows 10 problem here, or there is something environmentally different on my laptop. Any help you could use in tracking this one down is gladly offered, but I am out of my immediate problem. Thank you.

I have one remaining visual problem with this score. My faked beat markers (Free Text), i.e., the slashes in the rhythm section and open horn solos don't seem to have taken the hint on the font size changes you had me make. They are disproportionately large in both the Composer file and the pdf.

This process won't let me load the .not file I'm currently looking at, but it should be the same as what was already posted, perhaps minus the font changes

Cancel my previous posting. I discovered that I could select all of the slashes and press Ctrl and the Minus key. Then, the slashes looked fine in both the Composer score and the pdf file. I hope no one spent any time on this. Thank you.
