Altering measur widths
Annoyingly, my latest composition goes over onto a third page by just 2 measures. It's not densely written, so could cope with the measure widths being narrowed to bring it back onto 2 pages - but how do i tell musescore to narrow the note spacings or measure widths? Thanks

You can also change the default spacing in Style / General / Measure. Also, it often works better to just reduce the staff size slightly in Layout / Page Settings. Smaller staves with wider spacing often often results in music that is less cluttered and easier to read than larger staves with tighter spacing for the same total number of pages, although every situation is of course different. Feel free to attach your score for more advice on how to make it look its best.
