Note sizes too small in MuseScore 4
In going from version 3 to 4, I find that the score printout results in the notes being too small. I can't find where to change the size of the notes. (I really like the improvements to the whole experience, after I got used to finding the Inspector on the left sidebar, etc.) But I simply can not count on being able to read the notes in a low lit concert hall.
This must be some simple step I am missing.

(F8 gives you access to Properties, the replacement for Inspector)
There was no change to the default staff size between MuseScore 3 & 4 - it was and remains 1.750 mm. But the setting to change this remains in Format / Page settings, where it has always been as well.

Between 3.6 and 4. In 3.5 and before the default was 1.764

Hi, I have MuseScore 4.1.1.232071203 and for the life of me, I cannot find the Scaling feature. I've screenshotted the Score, Sizes, and Page pages. Help! My score is too big and I need to shrink things just a little.

Ooh, thanks! I have to jump back and forth a bit (takes a while to load Style), but it looks like I got everything resolved.

Thanks, mine was set to 1.55, significantly smaller. I don't know how or why that became changed. This score was the first I entered with version 4.

That would happen if you created from a template that was explicitly set to use a smaller staff size, or if you had too many instruments to fit on the page at the default size.
