More "even" looking score

• Sep 30, 2021 - 04:18

Hello to you all : I'm sure this has been answered a lot of times, but I can't find something similar to my issue . Would there be any way to make a score like in the attached pictures look more even? By that I mean with the height of the overall staff staying the same through the pages? I've been making this score for over 2 years now, so it would be nice to know how to make it more easy to read for a conductor. I apologise if I'm not clear, English ain't my first language.

You can try increasing the minimum sizes of Style settings under the Page category so that they hopefully don't expand, see Layout and formatting -- particularly staff distance.
If the sizes don't do it, you might have to use spacers, see Breaks and spacers. You'll have to do it manually for every page though.

It's easier to assist if you attach the actual score rather than just a picture. But most likely this was a score started in an older version of MuseScore that didn't have the ability to even that out automatically. Assuming you've updated to 3.6.2 by now, you simply need to update the score to use this new capability, by enabling vertical justification in Format / Style / Page.

Thanks a lot that's exactly what I needed. I wasn't quite sure if just showing the score was enough, but I'll attach it next time. Thanks again :)
