If it feels useful or necessary to show more then it's ok, too. The window will cope with multi-page documents as well, but I'd strongly suggest not to go that route. And I think sample documents should include text in roman, sans and typewriter fonts too. It's not possible at the moment, but text fonts will be selectable too, and then it would be stupid not to demonstrate them in the sample documents. UrsOkay, here is my little contribution, 4 bars by Scriabin. It is a good exercice for me, if this is useful for you, I could write some more.

Thank you very much, this is very nice and useful.I have by now incorporated a dropdown box to select from preset samples (now including 'Default' (the incomplete example I showed first), 'Glyphs' (so far a stub), 'Scriabine' and 'Berg'). As before it's also possible to load one's own file - and I had the idea of allowing to use the currently open document to show the effect of fonts! (Well, there's a non-trivial limitation to this: as soon as the document has its own paper block that will totally overwrite the font settings, so while this looks extremely useful it will fail to work in many cases.)
