Multi-Part Split Won't Fit On One Page

• Aug 28, 2025 - 02:34

My SATB piece features a 5-part soprano split, a 5-part alto split, and a four-part tenor split (I know). There is only one page in my score where the parts won't fit. Any suggestions? It's on page 6

There is a lot to fit on that page. You can try reducing the size of every thing by reducing the scaling in Format>Page Settings. A value of about 1.25 mm seems to work but it would only be useable in a conductors full score. For individual parts, I suggest either one stave per part or one group of staves (e.g. Sopranos, Altos, Tenors + Basses) per part.

See the formatting section of the handbook for more ideas on adjusting the layout https://handbook.musescore.org/
