Most PDF files contain white space around the edges, but these margins are more important for printing something out rather than displaying it on a screen. The margin adjustment slider allows you to zoom in equally towards the center of every page of that score at once. It doesn’t affect the original file, so you can still print it out later if you need to.
forScore 14 or later
- Open the metadata panel for the item you’d like to adjust (tap the title display for the current item or tap the info button to the right of an item in a menu)
- Make sure the “Properties” tab is selected
- Use the slider to the right of the page thumbnail image to make a global adjustment to the margins of the file
- The preview image will update to reflect your changes, and you can page through by swiping or tapping the blue arrows to check how the adjustment affects the other pages in the file
- When finished, close the metadata panel (changes are saved automatically)
forScore 13.1.7 or earlier
- Open the metadata panel for the item you’d like to adjust (tap the title display for the current item or tap the round arrow button to the right of an item in a menu)
- Make sure the “Layout” tab is selected about 2/3 down the panel
- Use the slider at the very bottom to make a global adjustment to the margins of the file
- The preview image will update when the slider is released, and you can page through by swiping or tapping the blue arrows to check how the adjustment affects the other pages in the file
- When finished, tap away from the panel to close it and save the changes
To crop individual pages differently or off-center, consider using the Crop function in the tools menu instead. Note that cropped pages won’t zoom in when you move the margin adjuster.
