Position and printing of footer text
Hi Musescore Experts
I often add more lines with text in the footer by using some differerent metatags. i.e. "page of pages", "source", "filename" etc.
The text is visible on the screen, so far so good.
But the text is missing on paper print
The printer is set to 0 cm bottom margen.
Is the any method for positioning of the footer text higher, or may be using a frame for the footer?

Are you by change printing on letter paper? The page format of that score is A4, which is slightly longer, 296,93 mm vs. 279,40 mm, so 17.53 mm shorter, that may well explain why the footer is missing. Nothing to do with it being multi-line. You won't be seeing the page number either.

Is your printer physically able to print with a 0-margin?
I once had a LexMark that allowed setting the margin to 0 in the driver, but was physically unable to do so, resulting in a margin cut-off of 4mm at all sides..

Then your printer can't print the entire page, guess you're loosing space at the top

If I set my printer to rotate the print 180 degrees, so that the bottom of the page is printed first, the footer is printed, but then the title is not printed.
So my conclusion is that the printer can not print closer than 17mm from the ending edge of the paper. Because at 17mm the paper is no longer in contact with the paper feeder tractor.
SUGGESTION: I guess it should be possible to change the position in the MuseScore program, so that the printing will be positioned higher, may be even a possibility for adjusting. Another way could also be to move the title frame lower on the page.

Suggestion: you can set the printer margins of the document in Page settings... so it matches those of your printer..

Strange that this is is almost exactly the 17.53 mm diff between letter and A4, pure coincidence?
If you change paper format to letter in MuseScore, but still print on A4, it'd fit, wouldn't it?
Or export to PDF and print those with 'scale to fit'

Yes I think it's pure coincidence, I measured the difference manually with a ruler, so may be its only 16mm.
I'll try settting MS to letter and printer to A4
Thanks
