Printing
Maxime’s Music publications are designed for printing on A4 size paper, but owing to the large bottom margin should print on US Letter sized paper without having to scale down the page size. Set the “page scaling” in your printer software to 100%.
All instrumental parts have taken into account page turns for the performers. Check the page numbers on each part before printing. Page 1 is always a right hand page.
