The breakthrough was :
the font size and nos of staves settings in the "Lead Sheet Options" affect only the onscreen display of the lead sheet window.

The font size and nos of staves settings in the "Print Options" affect only the printout. And neither interacts with the other.

The settings in the "Notation Options" affect both.





So one would think, Steve *grin*

The reason I was kind of cautioning on those issues is that I have had things go bump in the night and there I sit, a half hour late to leave for the rehearsal, going back thru those settings because the songfiles I need to take to the rehearsal aren't printing satisfactorily. Sometimes it has to do with me trying to print a song layout that differs from my "norm" but other times, no explanation for the strange happenings.

Sometimes I have hit the Return to Factory Settings under the Options menu and was able to start all over again with my preferred Print settings and whatnot. Awhile back though, with the previous version of BB, there was about a three-day long exasperation going on here. It is what it is, I eventually did something that somehow brought it back to what I wanted rather than what I was getting.

That said, I still love using BB for the creation of fast leadsheets, the note-entry method in the Notation Editor is simply a brilliant thing, automatially filling in the right note lengths or rests like it does. I've got Sibelius here, would take a much longer time to wack out a simply leadsheet than what BB does.

Good on you for sticking with it and getting it sorted, Steve.

Have Fun,
