Difficult spacing
I'm working on a set of figures for an article and have a tricky spacing problem. First of all, I've had to work hard to get the music on one page, so I'd love feedback on that. Second, the second eighth note in the attached picture (JLA_FIg7.png) is too far to the left for some reason, and I can't figure out why. This occurs once in all of the top voices of each choir.
The page size of this image doesn't really matter (I've been doing all the others on letter size) since it's going to be inserted into a document. I'll be exporting to png and converting to tiff. I've attached the original image I was given (Picture7.png).

I opened your attached score and found 3 pages -- with 2 page breaks! Delete the page breaks and you'll get one page.
(What's the story with the time signatures?)
Also, here's a comparison of your picture JLA_FIg7.png compared to how I see that bar when I open your score:

They are different. Are you sure you attached the correct .mscz file?
What version of MuseScore?

Yes, there are three pages in the file to accommodate ties, but I'm trying to fit mm. 33-37 on one page. Each staff has a different time signature. I don't know the piece at all, I'm just doing these figures for a friend.
I don't know why the example is different for you- the content is fine for me. Yes, it's the correct file. Version 3.6.2.548021803.

All measures on one page, with a system break in the middle so that there are 3 measures per system

Yes, I could use a system break, I was just trying not to since the model didn't have one. What about the weird spacing of the eighth notes in the top staff of each group?

Use 'Local re-layout' on their beams

Do you mean Format->Reset Beams? That didn't work.
I suspect it is because Musescore is trying to fit the 2nd eighth note before the 2nd eighth note in the 4/4 or 9/8 staves, but it just doesn't look good.

No, I meant whet I write.
Just left out that this setting is in the Beams' Inspector

Ah I didn't know about that setting! Thanks!
