Click the cog icon in the top right to open Settings. The dialog exposes the rendering options that Verovio uses to engrave your score — organised into named presets plus fine-grained groups (Layout, Spacing, Typography, Beams & slurs). Every setting saves automatically to your browser so your visual preferences persist across sessions.
Rendering Presets
Four curated presets that set all twenty Verovio knobs in one click. Tweaking any individual knob afterwards switches the indicator to Custom, preserving whatever you dialled in.
| Preset | Character |
|---|---|
| Modern | Balanced defaults — Bravura font, moderate spacing, standard beam slopes. A good starting point. |
| Compact | Tighter margins and staff spacing using the Leipzig font. More music per page; good for long scores on screen. |
| Contemporary | Open, airy layout with French-style beams. Suits dense rhythmic and microtonal notation where readability at dense textures matters. |
| Engraved | Publication-quality output using the Leland font with vertical justification. Best for PDF export and print. |
Option Groups
Below the preset row, four collapsible groups expose the individual Verovio options. Each option is a slider paired with a direct-entry number field.
| Group | Knobs |
|---|---|
| Layout | Margin left / right / top / bottom, breaks (auto / smart / line / encoded / none), landscape, adjust page height. |
| Spacing | Staff spacing, system spacing, linear / non-linear spacing factors, justify vertically. |
| Typography | Music font (Leipzig / Bravura / Gootville / Petaluma / Leland), lyric size, staff-line width, barline width, stem width. |
| Beams & slurs | Beam max slope, French-style beams, slur curve factor. |
The Reset to defaults button at the top of the Score rendering section restores the Modern preset.
