16: Printing - booklets on Legal paper

The following steps demonstrate how to create a Booklet with Sibelius using Legal size paper:

  • When creating a new document, be sure to choose A4 templates. Once you have finished editing your document, go to the Layout menu, and choose Document Setup.
  • In page size should read A4, and the size should already be 210x297mm or 8.27x11.69inches. Do not change these settings. Click OK.
  • Choose Print from the toolbar. If not already done, check the box marked Fit to Paper. Choose Booklet, Outward from the Format box (on Mac: use the combo box to choose the Sibelius page in the dialog).
  • Locating the following options will require knowledge of your particular printer driver. Driver properties can usually be accessed directly from the print screen (on Mac, some of these options may be selected from Page Setup in the File menu): set paper size to Legal; set the printer to Landscape; change the printer to accept paper from the correct tray (or manual feed).
  • Start the printer, and follow the rest of the directions in the User Manual for printing as a booklet.

To create a spread instead of a booklet, follow the instructions above, except choose Spreads rather than Booklet in Sibelius's Print dialog box.
