Adding instruments afterwards results in OUT OF FIELD during PLAYBACK
Adding instruments afterwards results in OUT OF FIELD during PLAYBACK
I noticed a problem when we subsequently add additional instrument staves on a large conductor (symphony orchestra) and the music stand below (the strings) is ejected out of frame during playback.
Certainly even if they do not appear on the screen the strings are still played well by the player but the problem is that we can no longer select only the strings section for selective listening.
You will tell me that we can go through the mixing and "mute" the other instruments but it is a longer process than clicking directly on the strings desk in playback to hear it alone.
How do I get the strings to come back into the reader's view? (this is not a zoom problem, even at the widest framing, the ropes are still hidden).
Attached is a screenshot of what I see (below the piano the violins, violas, cellos, double basses are out of frame).

You will need to reduce the Scaling in Format>Page settings. And spend some time in the Manual
In a recent score, I had 39 staves (instruments) which obviously didn't fit on a normal A4 page size not even on an A3 paper size. Under page settings I set the page as high as needed, in my case around 500 mm. The width of the page is then height/sqrt2, i.e. in this particular case 500/1.41 to keep the relation to European, and most other countries in the world, paper sizes correct. If you are in the US, you have to scale it to their page sizes.
It is possible that when your ready, and at in my case it was, for example possible to hide some staves in the printed score, that you can reduce the page height but then you have to adopt the page width again.
When you export your music to pdf, the size will be what you set it to but it you want to print it on paper, your pdf viewer allows you to print/scale it to the selected passport size.
While working on the score, simply switch to one of the continuous view modes.
And for the printout, it makes no difference whether you change the scaling or the page format.
