For users with poor vision or tablet users it would useful to be able to print in landscape format. The music should be enlarged horizontally and vertically to make it easier to see, not just stretched horizontally. In recent versions one can setup the printer to be in landscape mode using Print Options but the Print Preview is in Portrait mode. That’s inconsistent. The printed output is in Landscape mode but the chart lines are only stretched across the page so are not any easier to read.

It turns out that you actually can do this although it's not obvious. If you set the font size to 40% or so this actually increases the staff and note size too. Also select landscape printing for your printer. The Print Preview still shows portrait format but the printout is OK. By fiddling with settings you can split a 32 bar tune into two large landscape pages that will fit on two pages of an iPad.
