The Choir Edition with Chants - Large Print

1. Increased Surface Area

• A 6" x 9" page has 54 square inches, while a 7" x 10" page has 70 square inches—a 29.6% increase in surface area.
• This extra space allows for larger text and music notation.

2. Larger Font Sizes

• A 7" x 10" page make increases  the font size by 1–2 points without compromising margins or spacing, making lyrics and annotations much easier to read.

3. Improved Spacing Between Elements

• The additional space enables better spacing between staves, lyrics, and annotations, reducing the risk of visually "losing your place."
• Singers can make clearer notes and markings without overlapping printed elements.

4. Better Fit for Margins and Binding

• The wider page allows for adequate margins, even with spiral or perfect binding. This ensures that content close to the binding remains legible, especially when the book is held open on a music stand.

5. Enhanced Reading Comfort for Groups and Visually Impaired.

• Larger pages are less visually fatiguing in low-light environments, such as choir lofts or sanctuaries, where singers often rely on suboptimal lighting. The size also make it possible for visually impaired congregation members to participate in singing.

In practical terms, moving from 6" x 9" to 7" x 10" pages offers a noticeable improvement in readability, accessibility, and usability for singers and some congregation members alike.
