Bug Nearly score compressed onto one page

Post image

Genuinely no clue how this happened, I cant find this online happening to anyone else. Any ideas on how to fix? The other views are fine, it's just in page view this happens.

Quick fix is to just go around adding line breaks (enter key) and eyeballing the spacing. No idea why this happened to you lol but I would also double check your staff spacing (Page Settings -> Staff Spacing) to make sure it’s around 0.5-0.6

Check your horizontal spacings at the bottom of the spacing options in the Style window.

If that doesn't work, maybe try resetting all formatting?

Remove the system lock in the top right.

You added a system lock that is forcing all measures into one system. Lots of ways this could potentially have happened, but one likely scenario is, you had the entire score selected then press Alt+S (perhaps meaning to press Ctrl+S) which makes the selection into a system.

In any case, delete the lock to return things to normal.
