Exporting scores
Hello,
How do I change the size of the scores that I export? I can change all kind off things in musescore, but as soon as I export it as a PDF it's always the same size. I want the measures to be bigger and more room between the staves. So you can read it better. I can print it out the way I like and scanning it in again to have te PDF. But is there an easier option?

Go to Format>Page Settings and increase the Stave space scaling. That makes everything bigger.

Yes I know that. And when I print it is fine. But as soon as I export it as PDF its small again. I want to export how it looks on the screen.

How are you exporting as a pdf? If you use a virtual pdf printer e.g. PDFCreator it often gives strange results. Selecting Export from the File menu and choosing pdf as the format should give you exactly the layout that you see on screen in the pdf. if that is not the case, please attach the score so that someone can investigate.

I think I understand what is going on.
I think that what you are looking at on your screen is the score with two staves on for Dwarsflute en hobo (piccolo and oboe?) and one for Klarinet in Eb. When you export you are exporting separate parts with one stave in each and that is what I see in the pdfs that you attached. if you have not already created them by clicking on the parts button and then opening the parts they will be exported using default settings. If you first create the parts you can then set their formatting (including scaling and page breaks) individually.
See https://handbook.musescore.org/basics/parts for more information.
