Navigator/Score view
My navigator rectangle is horizontal instead of upright on this score. Also, cannot get score to view properly. Only half the score appears, etc. I checked my page settings, and they are set right, at 8 1/2 X 11. Also, I don't know what landscape or portrait view really means.

The navigator - the strip of thumbnails at the bottom of the score - is always horizontal. I don't think you can have ever seen it any other way.
This is what I see when I look at your page settings.
The blue rings show the bottom page margins - make that smaller to allow more music to fit on the page
The pink ring shows the staff space scaling. Reduce that to make everything (staves, notes, clefs, text etc.) notes smaller so that more of the score fits on the page
Portrait and landscape refer to which way round the paper is: for portrait the long edge is vertical (as you would expect to see a portrait in an art gallery) and for landscape the long edge is horizontal (as you would expect to see a landscape in an art gallery).
The Navigator appears at the bottom of the document window if scrolling pages horizontally; or on the right if scrolling pages vertically:

Well, I never! I guess I just don't use vertical scroll or the navigator often enough to have had them both enabled at the same time.

I hear you...
I use Scroll Pages Horizontally as my usual setting in the 'Canvas' tab of Edit > Preferences and, on the toolbar, keep the display setting to 'Page View'. For me, this is comparable to reading from a book (WYSIWYG).
Still, I enjoy exploring the depth of features present in (this wonderful software) MuseScore and how they interact.
So, check this out...
With Scroll Pages Horizontally set in Preferences, and with the Navigator displayed at the bottom, change the toolbar display setting from "Page View" to "Single Page". The result looks like a microfiche score. Changing Preferences to Scroll Pages Vertically fixes it and dragging the Navigator's edge can further improve its sizing/readability.
Using "Continuous View" also exhibits a similar idiosyncrasy depending on the 'Scroll Pages' setting in Preferences.
