Make Staccato Dots More Visible

• Mar 11, 2025 - 16:48

My old eyes find it difficult to see the tiny staccato dots. I've searched MuseScore for a way to make them a little bigger and a little darker, but I haven't found a/the way to do that. Suggestions?

Shoichi: thanks for your response. However, I need help - WHERE is the 'Staccato' I have to right-click on? I tried right-clicking on the actual "dot", then on "Style", but that didn't lead to any way to increase size.

Also tried right-clicking on the "dot" in the Articulations Palette, and again, no "increase size" option.

There must be somewhere else I should be seeing "Staccato".
Sorry to be being obtuse!

Right-clicking on the staccato dot itself--on a note in a score--gives this context menu.

(The staccato dot is JUST visible at the exact upper left corner of the menu.)

Click Style at the bottom. Experiment with values for "Articulation size" in the range of 120%.

You can also get there by clicking on Format / Style / Articulations & ornaments. Be aware that this will change the settings for all ornaments and articulations.
