staff spacing - how to make different
I have a score that goes onto 2 pages if I set fonts/etc to be readable in verse staffs. Chorus staffs have too much space between. So I want to shrink spacing between chorus staffs only.
I know how to
1) increase spacing between to specific staves,
2) shrink whole score
but now how to apply spacing A to staves 1-5 and spacing B to staves 6-10.
Suggestions appreciated.

Spacers ADD but do not take away space (at least as I am trying them).
Perhaps I was not clear, I need to leave staves 1-5 alone, and take away spacing from staves 6-10.

Without checking your request with MuseScore myself, maybe it would work if you decrease the staff distance inside the general settings and insert spacers inside the verse part.

I tried that, it works to get onto one page, but then the "general distance decrease" make the verse staves harder to read.
file is attached as another person requested.

Because it's a single staff, decrease the "max. system distance" in general settings should work.

Can you attach the score you are having problems with?

It is attached (I think, have not many attach/uploads).
want verse staves to stay the same for readability, and shorten chorus staves so as to fit onto one page.

Thanks, I found a fix. 1) decrease top/bot margins a bit. 2) decrease my one spacer. Then all staves "flopped" onto one page.
