Huge space between staves on printout

• Feb 13, 2024 - 14:40

Every now & then, after I click on the Parts button, there is a huge gap between staves. This usually causes another page that would not be necessary if the gap didn't exist. I'd like to fix, but I don't know how. Can you help me?

In the tuba part you have a stem that has become detached from its note head and which has been moved far away from where it should live.

Select it and use CTRL+R to put it back where it belongs. Such things can be difficult to spot (this one wasn't). If you can't find anything out of place you can try CTRL+A to select everything followed again by CTRL+R to return everything to its default location. Of course, that will undo any adjustments of position that you had made on purpose.

Your layout looks like it could use a fair bit of optimisation. Look here for a description of some adjustments that might be useful. https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/formatting
