four measures per line ...squeezing them in
For the life of me, and usually I am pretty good at this, I can't figure out how to get that straggling measure on the 5th line to jump up to the fourth.
We sight read a lot and it is always much easier if one has a standard 4 measures per line.
Any ideas, beside reducing the staff spacing...don't really want to go smaller.
Example is attached

No way other than reducing staff spacing (or using wider paper)
Seems 1.65 is the max, 1.7 doesn't work already (1.75 being the default)

It doesn't help you that there are an uneven number of measures. Also, there is a lot of space taken up by the key signature. But you can't do anything about that.

Well, you can use accidentals, which is what I'd do, personally. Or you can notate in Db instead of C#, which is what most people would do. Neither fixes this on its own but they may possibly give a better starting point. I note the staff size is quite large here - a staff space of 2 mm. Removing the key signature and using accidentals instead allows it to fit with a 1.8 mm staff space, which is still plenty large.
