Thank you for your help, but after spending a couple of hours I cannot figure out a way to make a lead sheet print that doesn't have some feature unusable or bizzare. I am not looking for precise control such as I would get in Finale I just want to print a usable lead sheet with the lyric text not too small and the staves a fairly normal size, ie not huge or tiny. Having played with the settings now I have to admit I am completely beaten.
I have tried returning all three dialogue boxes

lead sheet options
notation window options
printing window options

to default settings but I still can't make an ok printout. I keep getting weird things like the Style and Tempo text is huge and I can find no way to modify it.

Could somebody suggest some settings for each of these boxes that would produce a tolerable result. Ideally it would be good if I could print a little bit larger than the average music book as I have vision problems.

I must say that I am feeling extremely frustrated. I am finding what shoudn't be such a difficult thing to be one of the most frustrating software problems I have experienced. I am not often completely beaten by a piece of software. Surely everything in its default settings should produce a usable result.
