MuseScore 2 - Music Top Margin does not seem to be functionning
Hi,
I've seen only old threads (pre 2.0) about this. The Style -> General -> Page -> Music Top Margin doesn't seem to work in MuseScore 2. I could do what I wanted (lowering the music) by increasing the Bottom Gap of the title frame, but that would not work if I had a score spanning multiple pages.
This is on Mac OSX Yosemite / MuseScore 2.0.0 Rev. 6e47f74.

It does work; it has just been changed to only actually affect the distance between the music and the top margin of the page rather than also affecting distance between the music and a vertical frame. There is a separate setting, vertical frame lower margin, that affects the distance between music and a vertical frame. In 1.3, both settings were applied together, making it impossible to get independent control of these two distances. This is fixed in 2.0

OK I understand thanks. Although I think the term is "bottom gap". That's what I ended up using.

Bottom gap is the override for one particular frame. Vertical frame lower margin is the name for the style setting, made in the same dialog as Music top margin, that sets the default for all vertical frames.

I see a "vertical frame bottom margin" (not "lower") setting in Style -> General -> Page. Is that what you're talking about ?

Yes, sorry for the confusion. That sets the distance globally for all vertical frames. The Bottom gap you can set via the Inspector for individual frames is applied on top of that (and can be negative to reduce the space).
I have had a consistent problem with top margins when printing from MuseScore. When I print (to a configured printer, from MuseScore) on two sides (at least), the top margin on every even page is reduced to zero (so I can't even see measure numbers). When I print to a PDF and then print the PDF, there is no longer a problem.

Sounds like you are describing something completely different. Feel free to open a new thread with sample score and precise steps to reproduce the problem.
