Score layout
I just downloaded a very nice transcription of Clifford Brown's Daahoud, and am going to us a portion of it for study, but I can't get the score to read left to right.. it scrolls up and down. The parts are fine... but the score itself is two measure wide and scrolls from top to bottom.
Could someone please help me discover what setting I need to adjust to get the score to be in a "normal" format.
Score is attached below.
I thank you in advance,
Jeff, Springfield MO

Shoichi,
Thanks, and I appreciate all the times you have helped me out.
I have changed PAGE VIEW to Single Page... but the score still lays out vertically not horizontally. I have worked with Musescore for probably 4-5 years and usually just do lead sheets and septet arrangements, but have never encountered this problem. It wasn't my score, so I am trying to work backwards and figure out how to get it to lay out "normally."
By "normal" do you mean continuous view?

(left to right)

Hi Stringer...
No, what I mean is a score that read left to right in single pages....
This one read top to bottom... as if the pages were attached at the bottom to the top of the next page.... vertically...
Normally my scores look just like you would print them... page to page... left to right... with page breaks....

That's what page view does

But I am telling you on the attached score.... it reads top to bottom... not side to side.... :-)
When you look at it in the Navigator... it also reads top to bottom....
Don't know why... it just does....
I have since finished the score...and dealt with it this way...but really wanted to figure out how to undo that.... and know how to corrected it should I get another score like this one...
thanks JoJo!!!!!

That's why we tell you to switch to page view.

"When you look at it in the Navigator... it also reads top to bottom....

Because in menu Edit/Preferences/Canvas/ Scroll Pages: you have checked "Vertically" (instead Horizontally)
So, the Navigator displays top to bottom (or vertically!)

Cadiz,
thanks!
yeah, checked that too.... there is just something wrong in that score on my computer.
The one that Shoici sent back to me lays out fine left to right... but the same score with Single Page view, and Scroll set to Horizontal on my computer still lays out vertically!
But thanks for all the help, I'll keep the the score I got from Shoici and press on!
much appreciation to all!!!!\

With scroll set to horizontal, you want 'Page view' not 'Single Page'.

Single Page view is vertically, that's the point of it - like a very tall single piece of paper. Think 1970's fanfold printer paper. So still separate systems you read left to right then top to bottom, but no special break between pages.
Continuous view is the horizontal analog of that - showing out one very wide system.
