Crtl +/- should zoom to standard sizes, not relative sizes

• Apr 14, 2018 - 21:08

At the moment the ctrl +/- zoom feature on the keyboard takes the current zoom level and then multiplies it by a scale factor to create the new zoom level. This leads to zoom sizes that seldom match the ones available in the drop down and an inconsistent zooming experience. It would be helpful if instead the keyboard zoom option would zoom to the adjacent zoom level in the drop down menu.

I agree that smaller zoom increments than the ones currently offered in the drop down would be a good idea - but so would rounding those numbers off to something reasonable. To have the zoom go up in increments of 20% or so would help with consistency.

That would be reasonable. My MuseScore is currently zoomed to 199.65%. Why not 200% and the next smaller be 180% rather than 181.5%?

I did some more testing after the above statements which I still stand by. My default zoom is 150%. All changes to the score are exactly 10% from the previous when going up and the current view is exactly 10% of the next smaller view when going down. The algorithm appears to be + means current zoom * 1.1 and - means current zoom / 1.1.
