Space between notes
Hi! The sheets I write usually employ more space and pages than what is needed, due to the large gap between two subsequential notes. How do I reduce the horizontal space between the notes so that, when I write, I don't necessarily happen to have lots of pages? Thanks!

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/layout-and-formatting#increase-decr…
The default spacing is actually quite tight in current versions of MuseScore, so it could be there is something else going on (like extra system breaks, or inappropriate manual adjustments that allocate extra space) keeping the music from being as compact as you'd like. If you attach your score, we can understand and advise better.
But in general, the global settings to make spacing even tighter would be in Format / Style / Measure. In particular, see Spacing and Minimum note distance. I'd consider reducing the latter before the former.
Might also help: Format -> Stretch -> Increase/Decrease Layout Stretch (or
Shift-{andShift-}).
