EZ way to get right number of systems per page
Running 3.6.2 . . . on my Mac. It would be great if I could simply ask musescore to fill each page of my orchestral score intelligently — it would choose spacing, as well as a reasonable number of system per page and bars per system so that it's readable and fills the page. I'd rather not have to deal with millimeters of this and that sort of spacing and those breaks that in my experience don't work reliably. Anything like that available? Or if I could say — please, musescore, here on page 3, give me 2 systems, the top with 5 bars and the bottom with 4. I'd love that.
Thanks.

MuseScore by default does use a reasonable spacing, number of measures per system and system per page.
And system- and page breaks do work too and 100% reliable

Hi Jojo. If you look at pages 14 and 15 you'll see what I mean. I don't see why they aren't placed on one page. I'm sure it has something to do with how I've set things up, but it's not clear to me how to proceed.
I do think having the option of choosing "add second system to this page" would be helpful.
Grazie,
Adam

I deleted every break I could see. I still have lots of half-filled pages. My goal is to have each page filled appropriately, with adjustments to spacing made to accommodate that goal.
Thanks

Is that any better? Almost everything back to defaults (everything but the staff space setting)

Thanks Jojo. What I needed was the magic "Enable justification button."

Ah... if only that were possible. Maybe connect a microphone and try saying it again. ;-)
If that doesn't work, then attaching your score will likely produce better results following the sage advice offered here.
