Default Measures display w/ radically different spacing after first 20 measures
I couldn't find anything in the manual on this, an odd problem, here goes: I'm creating some lead sheets, when I set the # of measures, beyond about 20 measures, the measures start to display in compressed manner, at about 1/5 normal size... i.e., all squnched up. I've been in and out of the settings, can't see any setting to control this, it appears to be the Layout Stretch---but I don't want to have to go in to each individual measure and adjust this. I don't see any "global setting" for this, and I don't want to go into each individual measure and set the Layout Stretch manually.
Why does the layout change so radically after ~measure 20? Is there a way to just get the whole danged document to display at normal sizing? Attached is an image of what I'm talking about.

As you add notes to the empty measures, the measures will stretch out automatically, even starting a new line (system) when needed.
Of course, you can always click on a barline (to turn it blue) and then press 'Enter' to create your own line break wherever you want.
If you are just writing chord charts, you should check out:

Jm, thanks--- doing chord charting/band lead sheets, w/ some melodic entries here and there. What's odd, is the program auto-generated 4 measures a stave for the first 20 measures---by itself...
i.e, I hadn't entered anything, yet; then it goes to the odd compressed-measure mode; again all by itself. Just seems odd--- thx for your input

It doesn't auto generate 4 measures per line - I can see in your screen shot that there are explicit line breaks. These would have been created manually, perhaps via plugin, or maybe you started with a template that contained line breaks already.
