How do I increase the size of a selected staves

• May 6, 2020 - 14:12

I am making a piano concerto currently. I wanna make the stave of piano bigger as its the main instrument, but if i edit the size of the staves, all staves will change together. Is it possible to edit the size of a selected staves.

Right-click into the staff > Staff properties > Small staff.
How small that is can get adjusted in Format > Style > Sizes (default is 70%)

You can also use the "Scale" setting in Staff/Part Properties to increase size of a staff directly

But this wouldn't be a common thing to do for a piano concerto at all, so I want to make sure we are understanding each other correctly here. When you say piano concerto, you mean a piece for orchestra with piano a featured soloist? Normally the pianist would not read from the full score, they would have their own part, which you would create with File / Parts. Or, if it's a small ensemble, like just piano and a couple of strings, the other parts should be made small (using the checkbox) rather than the piano part big.

Of course, you are free to do things however you like, but I did want to check to be sure you knew about the standard ways of doing this.
