The vertical adjustment settings goes back to default
The default vertical adjustment settings makes very much empty space between the lines. Default is that "Enable vertical justification of staves" is on. Making it "Disable vertical justification of staves" makes a more reasonable amount of space between the lines. The real problem is that after saving, then the settings goes back to default when the file is opened again.
Im using version 3.6.1 for windows.

Here it is.

If I switch it off, it remains off
Needs to be done for score and parts (all individually, or via 'apply to all parts'), it so desired
(not sure why my score is so much smaller, by 7.7 KB, all I did was to disable vertical justification for score and all parts)

I do as you say. I choose "Disable vertical adjustment of staves". Then Apply for all parts. And it then looks as it should.
Then I save. Then I open it again, and it is back on the default "Enable vertical justification of staves".

Ok, I think I got it...and still I think there is a bug.
My observation is this:
If I on the full partiture has "enabled vertical adsjustment", but I on all part have "disabled vertical adjustement", then it will next time I open have "enabled vertical adjustment" on all part.
If I on the full partiture and all parts have disabled vertical adjustment, then it will next time open with "disabled vertical adjustement" on all parts.

This might a bug that got fixed for 3.6.2, see #316559: Style settings in score migrate to part after save / reload

That is this issue (verified with 46bdd98)

Indeed that sounds exactly like what was fixed for the upcoming 3.6.2 - the custom score setting is migrating to the parts after save.
If I open the file attached originally in a build of 3.6.2, I see justification enabled for the score, disabled for the parts. I assume this is as desired?
FWIW, we're currently working on tweaking the vertical justification to be more flexible when it comes to parts or other single-line staves that don't come close to filling the page. Right now, with this disablied, I find the parts for this score too "top heavy" (all systems crowded to the top), but with it enabled, it is indeed too spread. Meanwhile, try enabling it but changing the "Factor for distance between systems" to 1.5. That to me is a more pleasing result. If you do go with disabling justification, though, consider upping the max system distance back to its default of 15 sp.

First of all, thank you, developers for being so dedicated to the project.
Of course a score can be too "top-heavy" but I find it akward with that much space between the lines as the default setting is now (with vertical adjustment enabled). But the real reason why I want the lines closer together is that it makes it easier to play from the screen as I then can see the whole melody without scrolling. For same reason it was only for the parts I wanted the adjustment disabled. For printouts I will like a bit more distance between the lines as you suggests.

I'm having trouble with this also. I'm just trying to do little kids songs with single line melody and chords above and text below and they are spread way out on the page. I try to Disable the Vertical Justification of Staves and it looks like it's right behind the dialog window, but when I go out, it's back to justified. There doesn't seem to be a way to actually apply and keep that disabling. It won't let me change the justifications either. I try to change the numbers, but they don't actually apply. I've tried doing it with nothing selected and with All selected. Is there some button I am missing to apply the selections on the Style window or are they supposed to actually apply when you close the window?

After changing those values (and seeing a live preview of most of them) you need to use the "OK" button in the dialog. Cancelling out of it will indeed cancel out of any not-applied changes.

Sounds like either your monitor is less than the minimum resolution required by MuseScore, or else your OS isn’t communicating the resolution correctly. Because normally it should fit. And probably other things are the wrong size too - like if you view your score at 100%, is it also bigger than it would be printed?
If you tell us more about your system, we can help you fix these issues.
