Hello everyone, I recently set up Sibelius 7.5 on a new computer. The keypad and other panels are almost too tiny to read. Display resolution is 2560x1600. I have experimented with other resolutions but to no avail. This has not been a problem with other programs. Any recommendations for a solution?

IIRC, Sib 7.x does not cope with hi-res monitors well. The best you can do is use your OS's display settings to set the scale to 200% or more.

Even later versions don't do that good a job. I have 2021.12 on a Win 11 laptop and it can often be very difficult to read small items on screen - even on my 27" external monitor!
