Wanting my notes on one page at a time
So I'm writing a successful melody/harmony and lo and behold to my dismay, the notes automatically jump to the next page. It doesnt look right. How can I make my notes stay on ONE page at a time like the demo is when you first open the program. I want to write a successful song on this software without dealing with un-necessary issues like this one, Can anyone help me out so I can get back to my work?
Thanks in advance,
Derek

You can make each measure take up less space by selecting the measure and pressing {
It would help if you posted your score so we could see. But basically, it sounds like you simply have too much music to fit on one page. You need to either make everything smaller (Layout->Page Settings->Scaling), or maybe reduce the amount of space between staves (Style->Edit General Style->Page->System distance), or reduce the amount of space between notes (Layout->Reduce stretch, which is what the "{" shortcut mentioned above does), or some combination.
It's no different than if you were writing something in a word processor and it didn't fit on one page. You either make the font smaller, reduce line spacing, or tighten the spacing between letters.
