Andrew and Christopher, thanks for the replies. My pages at 100% are
difficult to read: too small and would be terribly difficult to read from
the podium. The score is Winds, Brass, Perc. and harp, solo horn, strings,
totalling 18 staves, which extend (at 100%) from about 1" (on the ruler) to
7" on the page. Seems to have plenty of room for enlargement.
Nevertheless, on other scores when I've over enlarged, the score merely
extends too far down the page, sometimes beyond (further down). I've never
seen a sizing problem like this where each page is one measure of
super-enlarged type, which is located on the left side of the page (about
2"), leaving the remainder of the page (left to right) blank.

To which I reply (not actually a quotation):
100% is much too *large* for anything except children's teaching
materials and music for the visually impaired. I normally use 80% for
performance materials (i.e., extracted parts) but many folks use 75%. For
scores my default is likewise 80%, but I almost always have to make it
smaller, sometimes down to 60%
