(SETQ Z 9)

## I have a large display. Medley is so tiny it's hard to read.

(This information is specific to macOS. We need someone who runs Medley under Windows or Linux
to expand this section.)

There are two ways to build and run the Maiko virtual machine/host interface layer
that underlies Medley: running under X Windows ([XQuartz](https://www.xquartz.org/)) and running in a native window
using [SDL](https://www.libsdl.org/). Full instructions for building Maiko for X Windows are [here](https://github.com/Interlisp/maiko).

To make the Medley window larger on a large display, we first build and run Maiko for SDL.
Follow the Maiko build instructions above, but instead of
```
$ cd maiko/bin
$ ./makeright x
```

Do these steps:
```
$ cd maiko/bin
$ ./makeright sdl
```

Then we tell Medley to run with pixel scaling (`-ps` _n_): every Medley pixel is rendered as
_n_*_n_ screen pixels.

To double each pixel, set _n_ to 2:

```
$ /path/to/my/medley.sh -ps 2
```
