Page Formatting
Sorry if this subject has already been discussed, but I have no idea how to search for it.
I am writing a score with 13 parts and they will not move onto the first page (when there is clearly enough space for them) until I move the composer name off the screen. The software seems to think that the title, or box, or composer, or something is blocking it. Please help!
Thanks,

Posting the score - even just the first measure of it - would help. But most likely, it's just going to come down to your page settings not actually leaving as much as you think there is. Between the page layout and page general style settings, there are any number of things (too large a bottom margin, too large a intersystem space setting, too large a vframe bottom margin setting, etc) that coud be preventing it from fitting.

I've tried that, but I haven't had much luck. I guess I could just make two text boxes (one for the title, one for the composer) and put it in but I don't think I want to do that.
I'll try again, thanks for trying to help.

One thing you could try is to go to Layout > Page settings and reduce the amount under scaling. This will reduce the over all size of everything, but you may need only to reduce it a very little amount.

Thanks so much all. I actually solved it literally 1 minute before I got your suggestion.
For future reference to all, it worked by reducing the system distance from each other. However, I think it only worked because each system for me is 1 page. Thanks to the two of you who helped me out.

I suspect that I need to put Page Layout on the list of desired video tutorials :)

An excellent idea, ChurchOrganist - it's quite a confusing area, especially so until one understands the importance of "Page fill threshold".

is to squeeze the title box
Select it so that you see the handle on the low side of the box, and move it up, even higher than the high side.
If the title itself escape from the page… catch it and drag it lower than the title box
Yeah I used the tutorial to get my answer.
The composer might not have been straight is I dragged it (the title didn't need to be dragged) but I forgot that the box isn't visible on the printout.
Thanks
