printing parts
when i print a part, specifically a part for a b flat trumpet and tenor sax, the notes and rests are on top of each other making it impossible for me to hand this to someone and play.
did i inadvertently change some setting?
also, has anyone been having experience with 2.03 crashing frequently?

Please share the score that gives you the problem
And give more details about chrashes.
This is what i am experiencing:
when i start out, everything is fine. as the score gets bigger i notice what appears to be a scaling issue whereas the notes and rests get closer together until they get to a point where they overlap and the part becomes unreadable. you can see on the attached that at measure 23 the notes and rests are starting to cover each other on the trumpet and sax parts. if i continue to add to the score this overlapping gets worse. the drum and bass are okay.
however, i have other scores with parts that are perfect. this is why i think i may have unknowingly done something or perhaps changed something.

It looks like you manually moved some of the notes and rests in the score for some reason. Click the quarter rest in the trumpet part in measure 23 and look at the Inspector and you'll see it has a significant horizontal offset applied. In general, you shouldn't be moving notes manually, and I'm not sure why you did that. The amount by which you moved this rest might not look terrible in the score (even though it's still wrong), but because the measure is narrower in the parts (because the drum notes aren't there to make it wider), that same manual adjustment is obviously inappropriate.
Solution is to remove the inappropriate manual adjustments - select those measures and hit Ctrl+R. You'll have to do this separately for the score and the parts.
My guess is maybe you moved the rest because you miscounted the beats. The quarter rest is actually incorrect - it doesn't start on beat 3 but on the "and" of 2. Looks you you tried manually moving the rest to appear as if it is on beat 3?
The same error is present in the other two parts in that measure.

the control R worked.
i also noticed that the rests were out of order. i'm not sure how they got that way. sometimes when i drag a page back and forth i'd drag a page number, staff number/name or some other object (like a rest) then realize it after the fact. then copy pasting parts that repeat not realizing something got moved. it seems i'm always pressed for time. I'm now using the page up and page down keys to move back and forth to avoid grabbing something and moving it. that would be my best guess.
anyway, thanks for you help

In addition to page up/down,. try the mouse wheel to scroll vertically, or with Shift to scroll horizontally. Plus the Navigator (in View menu).

As a guitarist, I noticed that your chord diagram for the G major chord in measure 3 is somewhat puzzling. The G chord you show in the diagram as being played at the 3rd fret would be notated one octave lower in the score.
Assuming the score is correct, a proper chord diagram would look like this:
(All those leger lines mean high up on the guitar neck.)
Regards, and forgive the intrusion. ;-)

i know, you're right. . somehow and some way this score got corrupted. what i posted was just a copy/paste of a small section of it. the whole thing was out of wack.
