Big space between staves cannot be adjusted
Friends, there are several bugs with 4 that are making my life hard. I cannot figure out how to shrink the large space between line 1 and line 2. As you can see, the spacing between the other lines in normal. Messing with the style, page, max system distance, lyric distance etc, does absolutely nothing to move it. This is happening in multiple scores, and there are no invisible lyrics or spaces that I can find. This never happened in musescore3. What can I do?

That picture is not very helpful. It could be that there is something outside that picture that is forcing a greater distance between the first two staves. It is much easier to help if you attach the score itself (the .mscz file) so that someone can see, not only the whole picture, but also what settings are in force.

Thanks Steve - I attached the document to the next comment on this thread. A solution to this problem would be very much appreciated.

Ctrl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+R (reset all)

DanielR, Good idea with the Ctrl plus R, but it didn't help. I've attached the score. In 3. you say "if you haven't moved too many elements..." I actually have - I erased a couple verses. Maybe that has something to do with it. Nothing interesting showed up in continuous view. I would really appreciate a solution to this. Thanks

Well done! I looked for that. How did you find it and get rid of it? I'm fiddling with mine right now and located the invisible syllable, but cannot eliminate them

I first had such a suspicion
Then I added verse 5 and verse 6 syllables, then right-click > Select > More > Same subtype, OK, Del

I still seem to be missing something. I get as far as same subtype, but there is no ok or del option. See attached

There is OK. After that hit the Del button on your keyboard

after hitting ok, I deleted the syllable and nothing happened. However, when I went back to enter a syllable in in invisible lines, and pressed the forward button to scroll through the line, it finally disappeared. So I had to go an extra step, but at least we have a solution. You, sir, are a musescore wizard. Thank you

Well, deleting verse 5 doesn't do much if there's still a verse 6

I deleted both verses and the space was still there. When I entered both lines through Cntl L to add lyrics, then moved the cursor forward all the way to line 2 for both verses, that’s when the space finally disappeared. Whatever works
