Printing guide
Print every template
at its true size.
A PDF may be precise, but browsers and print dialogs can still scale it. Choose the right template and paper size first, then use these checks to keep grids, staves and practice cells proportional.
Three checks before you print
- 01
1. Match the template and paper size
Choose a template first, then select the paper actually loaded in your printer.
- 02
2. Use Actual size or 100%
Turn off Fit, Shrink oversized pages and borderless expansion.
- 03
3. Print one test page
Measure several intervals with a ruler before printing a stack.
Which template should you print?
Every template can be adjusted for size, orientation, margins, line color and spacing in the generator.
