Full Score Printing

[rrayner]

Hi Sherry,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I am afraid I am wanting to rotate the score when printing so that the print would be true landscape orientation on paper. I have seen many scores printed this way, but of course, not the individual parts. Scores like what I was looking to print are usually bound on the left side of the landscape printout.

Hi Ralph,

Yes, you can rotate the entire score and get landscape printing, but your printer also has to understand that

For the Composer side, you can use Format/Page Setup to set up a landscape-orientation format for any (or all) part(s).

Most printers will understand this, and just print the score landscape. However, I used to have an HP printer that for some reason had to be independently set to whatever the orientation was that I had selected in my program (any program - totally frustrating). Is this perhaps the case with your printer, that you also have to select "Printer properties" (or whatever it's called for the particular printer) and set it for "Landscape"?

I print out all my Conductor's Scores in landscape orientation, and it works for me (Canon printer).

ttfn,
Sherry

Thanks, Sherry. All clear here, now. My main thrust was to use CutePDF to ship the score to my former classmate. I didn't think it was working because Adobe still displays it in Portrait orientation. However, I am able to tell Adobe that I really want it printed in Landscape. As always, you are a gold mine of information.
