I think this is the right resolution to use, it's good to have a big 
desktop.!
Unlike other OSes, you can have several windows side by side. This is good 
for correcting Rahpsody scores after using SharpEye, with the original 
image

Yes, but the goal is to display an entire A4 page of the PDF file or 
score. The lower size rendering is less good.

Recently I subscribed to ArchiveMag, and I use Score Poster to read it 
after extracting the pages in draw format, it's quick and comfortable for 
the eyes. What the software can't do is links, it's just a rendering of a 
drawing.
Using draw files, around fifty for the magazine, the directory score 
reaches almost 80 MB, Draw files contain images and text is drawn.
I can use !Squash , but !Draw doesn't open it directly. We reduce the file 
size by two.

May be considering changing the name of the app.
"2 page viewer", no idea.

Thanks for test(s).
