PAGE BREAKS: Can't print entire page _ How do I remove page breaks???
The lead sheets I have seem to have automatic page breaks at the end of each line. Then I can't print the whole page, it only prints the last 2 lines. How do I remove these page breaks without removing the whole line of music along with them.
I have a Mac. Thank you for any help.

Could you post an example? There wouldn't normally be page breaks unless you inserted them manually. But manually inserted page breaks can be removed by selecting them and deleting them, just like line breaks.

I have this sheet which came off wikifonia. Normally I can adapt those without much trouble but this one seems to have hard page breaks which I can't see or get rid of using Mac Mavericks with Beta 2.0 RC. There is huge space at the bottom of each page and I would like to collapse it into just one page if possible, but two MAX With the breaks and spacers palette I can add and delete additional breaks but I can't get rid of the ones it came with. File was mxl, I have saved in Muse Score's format. Thanks.

First upgrade to 2.0.1, 2.0 RC is 2 releases and quite a huge number of bug fixes behind.
Then could you also share the mxl file? And tell us which program produced that mxl file?

It may be useful to look Info score (Finale 2008 for MacintoshDolet Light for Finale 20082011-10-09ProxyMusic 2.0 c)

Ah, good stuff, also the source is mentioned, http://wikifonia.org/node/13063/revisions/17536/view, but that is not reachable anymore?

OK, I now upgraded to 2.01 that particular issue seems to be persisting unless I am missing something. Here is the mxl file. No idea who contributed or what software they used. There's a number of things wrong with this chart anyway so if I have to do this particular one from scratch it won't be a tragedy. But if there is a way to fix this particular issue with weird space (I checked margins and they seem normal) they I'd like to know how to do it. Thanks for looking into it.

Indeed that particular issue is not fixed in 2.0.1. It isn't even in the later development version.
But hopefully now with the mxl source we may be able to spot the culprit.

@ tixrus, the usual trick: I used copy and paste and then exported ...

If it came from Wikifonia it was made with musescore, that was the only way to opload something there, it could be any version up to 1.3

This is how I have the same score on my hard disk NICA'S DREAM.mxl

It's the same, but i did select it all and cp pste and that weird format didn't copy over. Oh well, I'll have this chart done OK but I'd like to know what that was.

IIRC Wikifonia accepted mxl made from any software. I thought of the work around copy paste but I like to KNOW the direct solution if there is one.

If you disable 'Import Layout' in Edit/Preferences.../Import/MusicXML, the issue is gone.
Which indicates that this layout was a deliberate choice in the mxl file

@Trucker: If it came from MuseScore, how come that MuseScore claims it to come from "Finale 2008 for MacintoshDolet Light for Finale 20082011-10-09ProxyMusic 2.0 c"

If you go to Style / General / Page, you will see the "Minimum system distance is set to 29.4sp, which is *ernormous* - and almost twice as large as the specified *maximum* system distance. I can't say why this was set that way - if something in the MusicXML file called for this, if there was a problem with the import, if it was edited later, or what. But I can say that this is the source of your problem. Sewt it to something more reaosnable - like the default of 8.5sp - and all is well.
