RE: print preview problem

I don't see any way to upload a file here for anyone to try. But I looked for a good example of a "complex file". Print Preview has a default view that is a graphically compressed approximation so a whole page can be seen on one screen. To see what it will really look like you need to zoom in at least once but you will have to scroll to see the whole page. By coincidence, the first complex file I looked at didn't crash until the second page giving me time to play with the first page. I discovered that if I go to the second page in the graphically compressed default view it crashes, but that if I zoom in on the first page even one level, it will not crash when I go to the second page or all the pages thereafter. This would indicate to me that the problem of crashing occurs in the scaling process of the default compressed view. Since there has been an implication in other threads that many slurs are somehow involved in defining a "complex score", maybe the problem is in scaling of slurs. Hope someone knows how to run with this. Cheers.
