I've started using a spare 32 inch monitor for my music and I having some troubles controlling the PDF page width of a particular piece of music.
I have doubled up on a couple of pages and cropped them to what I wish to include (part of a repeat), but when displayed in Mobile Sheets, the added part looks like a single page, and is much "wider" than the rest of the song. I can't find a setting to fix the width of a PDF page.
I'm sure there must be an easy way to fix this, but for the life of me, I can see how....

You'd have to either zoom in on that specific page or change the page scaling mode to "Fit width". If you want to zoom, you'll need to go the zoom/pan settings by tapping on the center of the screen to bring up the overlay, tap the second icon at the bottom left and then Zoom/Pan Settings, and then change the Zoom Settings dropdown to "Current page only".

Thanks Mike,
I tried setting the zoom settings to "Current Page Only". I could re-zoom the problem cropped third page, but as soon as I went to another page, the zooms reset themselves to the original size. I confirm that I definitely set the zoom to control only a single page.
I haven't had the issue previously as I was running a smaller screen in the portrait orientation. Now I am trying to use a 32" monitor in landscape, but using only a single page with vertical scrolling. If I try it in two page view, the offending cropped page then appear too wide for the screen.
Perhaps I am using the cropping function in an unintended way. A solution would be to have a setting which limits the width of all pages. I'll try remaking the original PDF in Word with Snipped sections of the pages as required and see how that goes......

Hi Mike,
My issue can be reproduced by using a three page PDF of music. Set the pages to 1-3, 1-3. Then crop the first page three to 30-40%. I had the Song setting to FIT HEIGHT....
HOWEVER, I have just found that if the Song Setting is set to FIT WIDTH (not HEIGHT) the single page zooming does work as you said. So that will solve my problem nicely.
Many thanks - as always.....

I'll take a look at that to see if I can reproduce the issue. I'm glad you have a workaround though. I'm always happy to help!
