Adding a long copyright to a score
I cannot fit a long copyright to the base of my score. It keeps coming up with the words written over the top of each other. I have put the copyright into 3 lines and then copied and pasted but it still comes out the same. Maybe if I move the last line on page 1 to the next page, would this leave more room for the copyright to come out properly? Not sure how to do this. Please help.

If you attach your score, we can understand and assist better.
On my screen where I have been composing my score, the copyright info is in one line but written over the top of each other at the base of page 1 and page 2 .I put it in the "copyright" section in "score properties". When I save though, the copyright is printed underneath on both pages but with part missing as you can see on the attached music. The words aren't written over the top of each other any more but part of it is missing. I am putting this up on SMP press so need the entire copyright info for it to be ok. This is the copyright info:

Also, you can see in bar 1 of my score, the tails of the quavers in the treble are separated from the stem. I have tried everything I can think of to remedy this without success.
How do I fix these 2 problems?

In order to really help, we'd need to see the actual score, not just a picture of it. But based on the picture, I'd say whatever program you used to copy and paste the multi-line text, must have ignored the line breaks. Another piece of evidence - the copyright text you just posted here is also missing the line breaks. Maybe try using a different program to write the text, one that does preserve line breaks when you copy it.
Regarding the disconnected flags, again, we'd need to see the actual score to say for sure, but presumably you accidentally dragged them away. Try selecting them and pressing Ctrl+R to reset them.

The disconnected flags on the quavers are now fixed. Thankyou for your help.
I will try another program to write the text. Can you suggest one that might work.

I wrote the copyright text in word. What else could I write it in that would have line breaks?
Is it possible to copy and paste the copyright to the end of the piece? I have done this before but can't seem to do it now. I'm still stuck on getting that copyright included.

Assuming you hit Enter after each line, I'd certainly expect it to work, but maybe Word has some sort of option to control whether copy/paste preserves breaks or not? You;'d have to ask that on a Word support forum.
Meanwhile, why not
just use a text area within your web browser,
like I am doing right here?
It lets me enter breaks
anywhere I want
and if I then copy and paste it,
the breaks are preserved, like in the following:
