Unable to see the OK/Next buttons when creating a new Score.

• Feb 1, 2020 - 10:41

Ok Today i went to start writing a new Score, I have to reduce my display resolution from 150% to 125% otherwise i don't see certain buttons. However when i do that in certain menus the text is so small i can barely read it.

Also as you can see from my Screenshot i can't see the OK/ next buttons when trying to create a new Score.

Any ideas Screenshot.jpg

It's hard to tell for sure, but it sounds and looks like maybe MuseScore is having trouble detecting your monitor resolution properly and is displaying everything too small, so you are attempting to work around that problem by increasing the scaling of everything on your monitor? If so, that's the wrong workaround. Instead, set the scaling back to whatever is standard and comfortable, and then start MuseScore using the "-D xxx" command line option, where "xxx" is the your monitor resolution in DPI (eg, 100 for a typical monitor, 72 for a typical TV set, 200 or more for modern high density displays.

Hi Marc,

You put
"and then start MuseScore using the "-D xxx" command line option, where "xxx" is the your monitor resolution in DPI (eg, 100 for a typical monitor, 72 for a typical TV set, 200 or more for modern high density displays".

Could you explain in simple terms how i do this please as i'm lost.

Many thanks

Found the problem, for some reason the latest Windows update made my screen display Scale and layout go to 175%, no wonder everything was far too big and buttons were off the screen. Now all back to normal and i can get back to creating my scores.
My thank's to all who helped or offered advice.
Have a good week
