Note Head Size

• Oct 5, 2023 - 18:09

Hi,
Ever since the update I am unable to find where the settings are to make note heads larger in size without scaling the whole score up. Please can someone guide me on how to find the setting. I've tried looking it up on google and youtube, there was no luck on Musescore 4.

What are you trying to achieve? If you increase the size of the note heads without also increasing the distance between the lines of the staves the note heads in spaces will overlap into the adjacent spaces and make the music difficult to read. Scaling the whole score avoids this problem.

Increase the scaling in Format>Page Settings. That increases the size of both the noteheads and the spaces between the lines of the stave. In fact it increases the size of everything as everything is sized in proportion to that space between the stave lines.

You said "I am unable to find where the settings are to make note heads larger in size without scaling the whole score up". So after doing just that - scaling the whole score up - you can reduce the size of things that you don't want scaled up (like titles I suppose) if you wish. But increasing only the note head size or only the score spacing will result in very odd looking music that will confuse your students no end.
