Setting Systems per Page
OK, I've been through the handbook and tutorials several times to no avail. My score has decided to to only put one system on a page except for a couple of pages. I'm viewing it in Page view, not Continuous, and have tried messing around with breaks and spacers palette. They seem to be correct with a system break after the first system and a page break after the 2nd. The spacing seems OK.
All I want is 2 systems/page. Where should I be looking to fix this? Where is it described in the manual.

If MuseScore decides to put just one system onto a page, it has its reason to believe that a 2nd system won't fit, given the current content, pages- ans style settings.

To be clear, there is no setting for number of systems per page. There are settings for the staff size, the minimum distance between systems, the page size, the size of the bottom margin, and the distance from the last system to that margin. If MuseScore determines another system can fit, it fits it. If not, it doesn't. The reason it doesn't fit might be symbols above or below the staff that would cause would cause collisions, or really just about anything. So indeed as mentioned, we'd need to see the score to understand the specific reason the second system isn't fitting in your particular case and to suggest solutions (generally, changing one or more of those settings).

Thanks for the clue, guys. I kept looking for some magic setting. After your advice, I changed the Staff space to 1.6 mm and got 2 staffs/page. Also I did a select all and Ctrl-r to remove any places where I had inadvertently moved the spacing. All good now.

Same problem here. There seems to be plenty of room on the first page but only one system.

There is a page break there - either you or someone else added it and thus told MuseScore, "no more systems on this page, please". So, simply remove the break (the icon above the final barline on the system) to allow more systems.

Sorry - totally missed seeing that break. I had removed all the others before. Thanks.
