How to adjust measure size
I selected a measure and hit command enter by mistake and it made my measure bigger. I cannot use command Z to undo. How can I make the measure smaller again?
Thank you!

We need the mscz file. But undo should have worked.

I didn't undo it right away and it is not working now. Is there another way to make the measure back to normal size? Thank you.

The same way you put your screenshot picture. Attach it to a new comment.
Command Enter adds a Page break. Click on the symbol for this and delete it.

Thank you. I am still struggling with this. I'm sorry I am new to Musecore and probably not explaining myself that well. In my score I now have two measures that are giant sized (they take up a whole line) and the rest of my score has normal sized measures. I didn't know how to correct this as soon as it happened and now I can't undo. Do you know how I can get these two measures back to normal size? Thank you very much.

Remove all the breaks, both system breaks and page breaks.
Then read this bit of the handbook https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/formatting
and in particular https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/systems-and-horizontal-spacing
and https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/pages-and-vertical-spacing
Then if necessary add system and page breaks to tweak the layout to your liking. If you still have problems, come back and attach the score itself (the .mscz file) rather than a picture of it so that someone can see what settings are in use.

Thank you. They want a PDF which I was able to export and I believe they also want an mscz file. I don't see how to export an mscz file. Can you help me please?

You don't export a .mcsz file. That is the file type for a standard Musescore score. So, just send them a copy of the score you have created. It should show up in the file manager with a musescore icon.
