Number of lines per page

• Jan 5, 2023 - 06:42

I need to arrange assessment music for a contrabass clarinet part and have run into two problems.

The first obviously being that there is no contrabass clarinet part. The second, but important part is that I need (want badly) the ability to customize the number of lines per page. (Maybe a little bit of OCD, lmao).

Having a lines per page option would seriously help with being able to write music without taking up more space than you want to. I can not understand what I am messing with when I try to change measure spacing and stuff. (I'm writing this at 1:35 in the morning, bear with my potentially unhelpful grammar and explanations).

It is really unfortunate that I can not figure out how to do this because I am trying to end the lines where my sheet music is and on the very last bit, if I change it to be the same, I have one measure, ONE MEASURE, go to the next page. This other problem could probably be fixed with a little tweak to the way equal spacing works. (Take a little away from the big spaced whole note and such measures to make room)?
Note- I know nothing of coding so I have no idea the extents of trying that solution. lol.

If anyone has any info on what I can do, I would greatly appreciate the help.

A little tweak to the page margins and/or the stave space scaling often allows an extra measure to fit on a system. Both settings are found under the Format>Page settings menu.

There are other alternative tweaks available but better advice on those would probably be easier to provide if you attach here the score (.mscz file you are having difficulty with.
