Posting the score itself is always helpful so we can see what you are talking about. Also be sure to tead the Handbook on Layout and formatting . If you still have questions, please post the scote and describe exactly what you are trying to do (eg, *how* are you trying to "edit spacing").
Hint: the { and } commands to reduce / increase stretch are your friends.

Great hint Marc. Also, do you have staff breaks set?
I have read the manual and the link that you sent me. i still have a measure that is one line wide. I try using the brackets that the manual suggests and nothing happens.
Also, how do i post my score so you can review/
thanks
Ron

If you post or edit a reply, scroll down and find the "File attachments" section, the rest should be pretty much self explanatory?

Well, you can't just randomly hit the brackets. You have to first decide which measures you want narrow or wider, the select them. If you have a measure all by itself, presumably you wanted it ne the previous line, but there wasn't room. So you'd to need to select all the measures on the previous line as well as the measure by itself and to the recude stretch command ine or more times until they are narrow enough to fit. But again, we're just gussng at what actually is actually gong on here, so hopefully you'll find those "File attachments" controls (right below where you type).
