Is 'viewing 2 pages arranged horizontally with scrolling vertically' possible?
Hello.
I hope you're always enjoying your music.
I am on a desktop PC, with MuseScore 3.
I wonder if there is a way to arrange the score as follows.
1. I want to scroll my score in vertically.
2. I want 2 pages of score to be arranged horizontally.
In short, like editing a document in MS Word, I want 2nd page comes on the right of 1st page, and 3rd page comes on the below of 1st page. I will simply attach the layout I want below.
- I know how to scroll vertically.(Edit-Preferences-Canvas-Scroll Pages-Vertically) However, in this way, two pages are arranged vertically when I select 'Two Pages' in Page View option.
Thanks.

In this way with this order it isn't possible. Maybe it's worth to discuss it as feature request: https://musescore.org/en/forum/7.
May be as you know, what's possible, is to select "documents side by side", so that's also possible to see/edit pages of the same score at once, but you'll still have ordered all pages vertically.
No, I do not believe there is a way to do that. You could file it as a formal suggestion in the issue tracker though, I could see this word-editor like layout being useful for others as well.

I agree that this would be useful. I'd also like to see in MuseScore what my PDF editor calls "book view," where even-numbered pages appear on the left and odd-numbered ones on the right. I suspect that composers like to work horizontally, but when I (an engraver) am preparing to generate final PDFs, I always check how the facing page pairs will look.

You can see facing pages if you set the zoom level to "Two pages" and this shows pages in pairs with odd numbered on the left, even numbered on the right. It doesn't scroll vertically however.
Thank you to everyone.
It's a shame that there's no way, but I'm happy just knowing that I don't need to find it.

I set this up using "View - Documents side by side" with a single document. You can then either drag or scroll the pages independently to have pp.1 and 2, etc.,side by side - or even p.3 and p.9 which can be handy for copy-and-paste. I discovered this by accident and use it quite often - it may not be good enough for what you want, though.
It's not ideal for lining up facing pages as I have to drag them by eye till they both line up with the top of the window, but works well enough for my non-professional purposes

One further advantage of the two page view ithat I forgelot to mention is that the pages are grouped in pairs so that you can see how the whole two page spread looks. But the downside for the OP is that lack of vertical scrolling.
