Sibelius Ultimate on Windows 10, display problems
Posted by lucamadeus - 09 Jun 12:30PM
Hi all, I recently updated my Sibelius software to Ultimate version on Windows 10.
The problem is that some fonts and icons are displayed too small, as you can see from the png I attached to this thread (highlighted areas).
Does anyone know how resolve this problem?
Thanks so much in advance!
Best regards,
Luca

This is a consequence of Windows 10 display DPI scaling: I expect you have it set to a figure considerably greater than 100%.

You can mitigate this issue by changing the Windows compatibility settings for the Sibelius application, as follows:

- ensure that Sibelius is fully quit, and not even running in the background;
- using Windows File Explorer, navigate to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Avid\Sibelius\
or:
C:\Program Files\Avid\Sibelius Ultimate\
(depending on which one is relevant in your case)
- in that folder, right-click on the icon of the file "Sibelius.exe" or "Sibelius Ultimate.exe" (depending on which one is relevant in your case) and select "Properties";
- in the Properties panel, click on tab "Compatibility";
- in the "Compatibility" tab, if there is a button "Change high DPI settings", then click it;
- check the box "Override high DPI scaling behaviour" and set "Scaling performed by" to "System" (not "System (enhanced)") instead of "Application";
- click OK.

Now try launching Sibelius. All font sizes and proportions should now look correct, but at the expense of Sibelius not using the full resolution capability of your High-DPI display: Sibelius will look the same as if it were on a legacy 96dpi display.

Just thought I'd mention that on my 3200 x 1800 Windows 10 display, the "System (Enhanced)" setting is noticeably sharper. I can zoom right in and it's just like looking at printed music (better, actually!).

You should not need to be using any Windows Compatibility Settings with current versions of Sibelius.
