All of the printable music theory handouts and worksheets on this page are designed for a printer's typical default “Portrait” setting using U.S. letter-size paper (8-1/2'x11') with a 1' margin on all sides - with no adjustments needed.
For best results, use your printer's highest print quality settings and high quality paper. Lower settings and inexpensive copy paper also work, of course.
