First page blank?
Hey all, I'm arranging a piece for my percussion ensemble of 9, and I want the score to print horizonataly, but when I set page settings to horisonatal the Title/subtitle/composer name are all on their own page, with the music not starting till page 2. Is there a way to fix this?

Horizontaly, there is less place for your work. With 9 staves, your sheet music is full, so , MS, create a new page for the tittle. Try with only 3 staves, and the title will be on the first page with stave.
You can reduce the scale , but your "music" will be more little so.

As JoJo said, it's in the submenu under "Format." After Format, then go to Page Settings. It's on the left-hand side, called "Scaling." You can click on the "down" arrow where the number is, then hit "Apply" to make the settings effective. But as has been warned above, you can make the score downright microscopic!
Personally, I would leave the title page as a kind of "cover" for the score.
There is another way to do this: Make a header with the title of the song, and it will appear on every page of the piece (and parts? I've never tried this). Just yesterday, I saw this done by one of our fellow composers -- neat idea!

You could also reduce spacing between staves if there is room.
