Score page layout
I've been working on an arrangement of the Band of Brothers theme for a saxophone ensemble, attached.
Just about there now but I can't format the score pages as I want them.
How do I get the title at the top of every page, and how do I get the staves to occupy the whole page. I've tried reducing the margins but that didn't help.
Thanks for any advice.

You can add vertical frames to (the 1st measure of) every page and add the title into that, or you could use the header for that and in there
$:workTitle:.Not sure what you mean by staves to occupy the whole page, you mean the page height? If so, increase staff distance.

Thanks for that. The vertical text frame works fine.
I tried increasing the staff distance but that skips off the first page and leaves it blank apart from the title text. Not too bothered about this though.
Thanks for your help.

Well, because of the title frame there is less room available on the first page than on other pages. So indeed, a staff space setting that fill page 2 will be too big for page 1. It's an open feature request to someday be able to have staff distances 'float" like we do for system distances. Meanwhile, having the title frame be a separate page is actually a good way to go anyhow, it's how much large ensemble music is published (probably for the same reason).
