If you choose to print US Letter 8.5 x 11 inch format, you will need to reduce the page scaling to 91%. Note that the resulting music is 9% smaller than intended and not as easy to read at distance, but still OK for good eyes. Because 9 x 12 is a narrower format than 8.5 x 11, when printing 8.5 x 11 there will be more margin space on the sides than on the top and bottom.

8.5 x 11 Separate Sheet Printing
If you are using Adobe Reader to print from, you will likely have to set up a custom 8.5 x 11 page format with special printer margins in order to achieve the desired 91% scaling and proper centering. Start with the following printer margin settings:- zero left and top
- 0.25 in. right
- 0.08 in. bottom
If you use Preview on the Mac, set the scaling to 91%, forget the margins, and let her rip.
Windows users...good luck.
