TR: When do you start to reduce the size of the page? How many parts in a score? In Sibelius, to reduce the staff size, choose Layout > Document Setup and reduce the staff size. In Finale, to reduce the staff size, choose the Page Layout Tool and from the Page Window, choose Resize Page (Page Reduction).
I now have a printer that allows me to print on 9.5 by 12.5 paper, but I still use the individual Staff reduction. That’s enough to make a crowed system look a little less cluttered. At 100% it looks a little large, so I reduce the staff 90%.
I also reduce the staves a little as well. So, I made my computer part page 88% when printing on letter size paper. Thanks to zoom reduction copiers, I knew the letter size page size was 88% smaller than my manuscript paper. At the time I could only print on letter size paper so I had to shrink the dimensions from my 9.5 by 12.5 manuscript paper. When I first started with Finale 1.0 back in the late 1980s, I measured the manuscript paper I’d been using when copying parts by hand and reproduced those dimensions in Finale. TR: Do you have a set size in Finale and/or Sibelius for individual parts?

The topic of this post is how to determine the page size for scores and parts in Finale and Sibelius. In this post, I interviewed my co-author, friend, and mentor, Vince Leonard.
