moving single staves to the next page.
I want to make lead sheets of my songs and keep them two pages in length. In this song, I want to move the last staff on the first page, to the top of the second page, then space the remaining staves relatively even on the second page to avoid going to a third page. I'm making good use of the "repeats and jumps" and "Viola" palettes. I did scale up one click of the staves adjustment, my eyes need that. I tried the "Breaks and Spacers" palette but to no avail, in my case. There are a few refinements still needed in this transcription but everything that needs to be there is there, a few chord changes, a frame space at the coda, tempo change, etc. FYI; To those whom developed this program, my hat is off to you, you have done something magnificently important to so many musicians, this is a priceless and an on going accomplishment. Thank you.

OK. so from the "Breaks & Spacers" palette...
... use a Page Break on the staff above the last staff. You used a system break which cuts the line of music, but keeps what follows (i.e., the last staff) on the same page. You want that staff moved to a new page.
Once this is done, the second page will automatically adjust to accommodate the move.
Also, looking at the rest of your score, are you sure about the 3rd volta being a coda?

I failed to explain I'm a newbie, this is my first attempt at writing lead sheets. It worked perfectly well! I simply followed your instructions, What seemed a complicated process was easily accomplished. I think my problem is I mess with a project till I get cross eyed but it is addictive, or should I say enjoyable. Many thank you's for taking time to share your Musescore wisdom. About that volta with the coda; I could end the song at the 36th measure or eliminate the 3rd ending volta because the "to coda" takes you there anyway, in gospel music they like a big ending maybe go to an "Ab - Bb - C. There is some refining to do, lyric syntax, chord placement, This is the first of 200 songs I've written of all types, rock, country, blues, lite jazz, gospel, so on with the show! You made my day again so many thanks!
