Spacing of Staves
I'm about to print my first project. I note that the first page has 5 evenly spaced systems. The second page has two widely spaced systems. How can I move the second system on the second page closer to the first system?

Without seeing the score, if you are talking about a two-page score with a total of 7 systems, consider balancing the pages by, for example, placing a page break after the 3rd system of the title (first) page. This will place 4 systems on the second page.

Another way would be to 'Disable vertical justification of staves' using menu item Format→Style→Page which would reduce the distance between those 2 systems on the second page -- leaving more whitespace at the page bottom.

I adjusted the vertical spacing, and I could see that it looked exactly like I wanted it to. When I left that site, I found that my score went right back to the way that it was. I tried it several times and the changes would never stick. If there is a SAVE button, I never found it.

Okay, but no one here saw how you did it, so please explain your exact steps. The term "vertical spacing" is too general -- there are different ways to make such changes. How did you do it?
What dialog window were you specifically looking at where you made the adjustment and couldn't find a Save button?
Also, attaching your score to your post would eliminate much guesswork on this end of the forum.

Thank you so much for your advice. When one method didn't work, I tried another, then another. I have finally adjusted my score to my liking.
