Layout problem: One note doesn't fit
Hi,
I have a score I would like to bring to 2 pages. And, well, there's a whole note left on page three, and that's it :-)
So I tried to apply "Add less stretch" to measures 25-27, but with no luck. Since I don't want to change anything else in the layout (since the themes pair up beautifully this way), I don't know what to try (might also have to do with me being relatively new to Musescore).
I also do not really understand that "Add less stretch" option. In particular, I would have assumed that measure 25 is smaller than 26 (less 64ths), but the opposite is the case.
Can maybe somebody shed some light on this, and give me a hint? File attached...
I should mention that I had problems with this very file before (see thread "Can't delete clef and key signature after adding less stretch"), so this might be related, but the file looks good as far as I can see.
Thanks,
Christian

Here you go, I did it by reducing the space between systems. I just hope it's not too jammed together for you!

Hey musiclover,
thanks for your help! However, as you already guessed, the systems especially on the first page are too close together now. Also, it's kind of ugly to have that single whole note in the last line, isn't it? :-)
Thanks anyways!
Cheers,
Christian

Then sorry, I really can't help you. As far as I can tell, MuseScore just isn't capable of jamming all those notes together. Perhaps someone else has a solution?

Done :)
You had the systems set to display 2 bars per line.
I also shrank the scaling very slightly to 1.7mm.
All fits on 2 pages :)

Geez, I played with it for a while and got nowhere, but I never thought to check that setting! Somewhere, I recall someone suggesting this setting be eliminated. This would be an argument in favor of that.

I was suggesting this and I still agree with myself :)

You can always scale down with the "Layout/Page settings/Scaling" menu and inserted a vertical frame betwin measures 14 and 15.
( Think to place a page break at the measure 14 )
Add a horizontal frame to the last system for aesthetics ;)
See attached example.

That worked perfect - thanks (to anybody) for helping!
