Yes: smarty answer is "take some notes out/add more notes in". :D

But I'm talking about the size of the text and musical notation. Sometimes (for reasons that have thus far happened accidentally), my score will appear with ~6-7 bars in a system, text and notation are correspondingly small. Normally, it's generally 4 bars across, larger, more readable text and notation.

Now, there are reasons to print both ways. More measures on a page is just economical in some cases; other times, readability is more important (especially for the visually challenged).

How to do this? I like to know the proper sequence to get a result, rather than have them happen randomly (from my perspective at least :) )

Well, sure, when you put it that way. :D
Thanks.
Sometimes gazing at the Sib toolbars, one feels like one has been asked to pilot a Boeing 767.
Quite a lot of controls...

Thanks again!
