Staff View Printing

[deflint]

When printing in Staff View some measures take up the entire page width while others fit 3-4 measures per line.

Is there a way to print with all measures having the same width?

Staff view really needs some more love from the developers. It  probably was never intended for printing out pretty scores.  It is what it is, and can be useful for viewing and/or editing your tracks in a notation view.

You would probably get better printing results by exporting your song as a MIDI file and formatting and printing it from a free notation program such as MuseScore.  https://musescore.org/en

Width of a measure is determined by the note values contained in that measure. You would not want a measure with a whole note (semibreve) to take up the same space as a measure full of 64th notes(hemidemisemiquavers).

Also, be aware that the notes you see are a representation of your MIDI performance, assuming you played it in. If you're not playing exactly in time the notes will be all over the place. You can use Input Quantization to place the notes in the correct spots as you record, mostly, but you still may need to do some editing for a pretty document.

You can do extensive editing to get the notes all lined up, or you may be able to clean them up with Trim Durations and Fill Durations, if your program has those options in the Staff View.

Thanks for the responses. Music Score was a huge help.

you can change the size of the printed size of the staff view by looking at Print Preview and change "configure".  you have to click on next or previous to see the effect of the change

Except the staff view's support of "quavers" only goes up the 32nd notes. (Would that be demisemiquavers?) More's the pity.
