How to get there
The View menu is one of NotePad’s unchanging menus.
What it does
This menu contains commands pertaining to your view of the score. You can never change the score itself with the commands in this menu—only modify the way you see it on the screen.
- Redraw Screen. Choose this command to force NotePad to redraw the screen. Whenever you spot a visual anomaly—a phantom fragment of a slur, for example, or a missing barline—this command usually clears up the problem.
- Zoom to: 400% • 200% • 100% • 75% • 50%. With these commands, you can specify the size at which you want the score displayed on your screen, expressed as a percentage of its actual size. You can’t change the actual (printed) size of the notes on the page in this way; this technique simply lets you magnify or reduce the screen display of the fixed-size notes.
