Score Printing - Help Please

Hi All,
 
With MC 5, I would like to print the score of a MIDI track.
I do exactly what's writting in the help tutorial but it won't work.
These are the steps that are in the help tutorial for printing:

To Print a Score:

1 - Make sure the Staff view is the current window.
2 - Choose File-Print Preview.
4 - If you want, click Zoom, or click in the music, to zoom the view in and out.
5 - Click the Configure button to select a rastral size.
6 - When zoomed out, you can press Page Up and Page Down to navigate between pages.
7 - Click Print.

Music Creator displays the Windows Print dialog box, from which you can set up your printer and
print the score. Alternatively, you can choose File-Print and skip the print preview window.
 
END QUOTE.
 
The problem is that the: File-Print Preview command (see under point 2 above) is not
showing in the File menu (on top left). Like all other WINDOWS programs.
 
If I hit: CTRL P on the pc keyboard I get the Staff View Print Configure pop up screen.
There I make a choice and klick OK. And then I'm stuck because nothing happens.
And nowhere again I can find the File-Print Preview command in MC 5.
 
Can someone help me please? And tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong?
 
Thanks in advance.

OK so try this:

Open the staff view you want. 

Next, click on the top tool bar FILE. This gives you a drop down menu with new, open etc...all the way down to exit..... BUT... look below the word EXIT. You will see 3  right pointing arrows..... put the mouse on those and a new window opens with the print menu. This menu should work just fine to allow you to print the staff view. 

See, I told you it was hidden. 

unfortunately, score printing is more of an after thought with MC than a useful function. 

Other programs designed to do scores will do it better. 

Google or bing search:  

http://musescore.org/    says it's free. 


http://sonicscores.com/   says it's affordable


that's 2 out of many.....
