Show/Hide Margins
Show/Hide margins selects whether or not to show the layout margins, as pictured
below.
The light-red lines enclosing the music are draggable. If dragged just a little to
the left or right, the system width changes and the placement of the bars gets
adjusted (the manual system breaks and glues still work, of course). If a line is
dragged so much that a system gets pushed onto another page, it will keep its
width (otherwise, the tweaking you may have made of the system would have
been lost). If you want to reformat the moved system, simply drag the left side of
the system or the left or the right page margin line. Please note that the lightred
margins do not apply to other objects than the music; e.g. the page numbers
are not affected (The margins can also be set in Layout settings).
The darker areas show the areas that will be omitted when printing the document.
In the example above, a small amount of space will be omitted all around
the paper’s edges; on the other hand, that area is intended to be omitted since the
printer cannot print that close to the edges. The size of the dark areas (or rather,
the printed size) depends on two things, the paper size set in the Page Setup window,
and the printing options set in the Print window:
