Help navigating the score
Hello,
I'd need some help on how to configure and or how to use the software in order to make navigating the score in MuseScore 4 less painful than it is now.
I set view to "Page view" and zoom to "whole page", to see one page per screen. So far so good, but when I hit PageUp or PageDown expecting to advance or go back one page, the view moves randomly left or right, in a way that I never see a whole page but rather parts of two different pages. That means that every time I want to turn a page I need to do it manually with the mouse.
I'm working on a piece for large ensemble with many staves per system, one system with eight or ten seconds of music per page. I'm constantly turning pages, and I find this behavior very inconvenient. I fail to understand the underlying logic, in every program that I ever used, setting page view and zoom to whole page, PageUp or PageDown simply advances or goes back one page.
Am I missing something? How can I make MS navigate pages normally?

From the Handbook:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/navigating-your-score
By themselves, PgUp and PgDn scroll one screenful at a time. This may be less than an actual page of your score. If you hold Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) while pressing PgUp or PgDn, it moves a full page at a time.
Hold CTRL while using Page Up/Down. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/navigating-your-score#keyboard-scro…
Wow, that was so easy... Thank you both for the prompt response, I missed that in the handbook.

If you prefer it the way you know and love you can change the key/action bindings in Edit>Preferences>Shortcuts.
