HELP! Export of full score: measures are inconsistent on each page
i'm trying to print the full score for jazz ensemble but exported PDF looks ridiculous. the first page displays the first measure for every part then the second page displays 20 measures. there are several pages where only one measure is displayed, stretched across the entire page. i've changed the page settings numerous times but it keeps looking the same. what do I do? it's driving me crazy.

Score needed.
I guess though that you have a page or system break on the 1st measure

Switch to Page View and see what the printout (and PDF) would look like.
Don't disable show unprintable, else you'd miss the system breaks, I've removed the 2 that led to those single measure pages

i think i figured out how to solve it. turn on "show unprintable" then delete any system breaks in the full score. I corrected the "Nestico" chart and the PDF looks normal. thanks again!

To be clear: "Show unrpintable" is always on by default. Normally there would be no reason to ever turn it off - those elements don't appear in the print or PDF. Just leave it on, and it makes your life easier editing the score.

here is another score where the export PDF is even more inconsistent with the measures on each page

the individual parts export fine. it's just the full score where one or two measures take up an entire page, even though there aren't any additional notes in them

I would suggest that if you have an eye toward printing a score, then never work in continuous mode. The Pdf can't print it. I put your score in to page view and removed random brakes. This might be more what you want.
