[musictlk] Software to create large print sheet music?

[Holly Baker Miller]

Hi!
We're trying to find a good sheet music solution for our 12 year old
drummer who has some vision.  Right now his music teacher is using the
photo copier to enlarge on to 11x17 paper in portrait mode  and then
laminating it to give it some stability.   It's not working all that well,
it's still too small, the lamination causes glare and it flops around on
the music stand.  He's only been in band one year.  He loves it but is
starting to get discouraged because of the sheet music issue.

What I'd like to find is a software that would allow some control over the
size of the staffs & to print in landscape mode.  My plan is to transcribe
the music from the original book with the software.  If I could get the
original 8 1/2 x 11 to print larger than normal to start, the enlargements
on 11x17 should be big enough.  Landscape mode would work nicely on a music
stand and wouldn't need to be laminated.

Does such a creature exist?  There is a ton of software out there but being
utterly unmusical myself, I have no idea which ones are good or not.  Free
would be nice but I am willing to pay for something as long as I know it
will work well.

I did get my hands on a few sheets of large format staff paper and tried to
do it by hand.  That was a failed experiment, bad handwriting apparently
translates to bad note writing.

Braille music isn't an option yet as he's just beginning to learn regular
braille.  Eventually I would like him to give braille music a try but we
need a right now solution first.

I am aware of the Dancing Dots Limelighter.  It's a fantastic piece of
equipment but out of our price range, let alone one for school & one for
home.

Thanks so much!
