pdf music tab printing too small

[Shotgun]

Is there an alternate version of the tab downloads? The pages are printing correctly but the ledgers and tab positions, etc are so small as to be almost illegible without squinting my eyes. And that’s with my glasses on.

Shotgun I have printed lots of tab sheets here and whilst it is personal I haven’t found the printout to be to small a size to read but up a couple of points would be fine too. I don’t think you can adjust it but you maybe able to in Soundslice. I have not tried printing from that source. The only other way would be to use the PDF zoom feature to enlarge to the size you like, and then get a screen grab with a tool like snagit and print that as an effectively enlarged picture.
hope thats helpful

I use the interactive tab as the printout. I turn off the music notation and then click on the tab icon to get the rhythm incorporated into the tab. I then always enlarge the interactive tab to the largest I can get it all on one screen and then do a screen shot and paste into ms paint (or something like that).

Then I edit the tab to fix things or add notes on what Brian is doing.

A lot of members have mentioned the problem of tiny print, and printing from Soundslice seems to be the chosen solution. As for me, I have a music stand and I just put a bright light onto it, then sit as close as I can to it, and maybe squint my eyes a bit. I have the same problem with my eye-phone. How can people be expected to read text that is 0.3mm high?

Change the page orientation from portrate to landscape in your printer settings, then reduce the header and footer widths and you should be good to go.
