Less stretch results in overlapping measures.

Less stretch results in overlapping measures. Other measures are still overly wide! Can I move the bar lines manually? I have tried some general layout changes, but they don't really fix it, so far. If possible I need this to fit on two standard pages to be inserted into a book.
Using Mac OS 10.6.4 and Musescore 9.6.3

You can reduce the size of the music a little bit in Page -> Layout -> Scale
You can also decrease the margins.
Using Line breaks can help to shape your layout too.

Thanks. I was finally able to reduce the song to 2 pages using page breaks. Then moving some notes horizontally helped make the lyrics fit better. They only way to fix the overlapping measures was to delete them and insert new measures then re-write the music and lyrics. Thanks for your reply.
