Score Display Options—a Survey

With a few exceptions a printed score (see “Printout” on page 487) is always identical to
the Page Edit view display in the currently active Score window.

The display, again, depends not only on what was recorded or inserted, but to a great
extent on the chosen display settings. Since there are a quite a few, each affecting only
certain aspects of a song’s display, here is an overview of the various settings. These are
organized into groups, according to how much they influence the overall display.
