Rear score and Notes separation
Hi, gang!!!
This topic is about two different (Or, maybe not?) issues, just to save space (hehehehe).
1) The attachment shows a rare score I got when I play the piece. I've tested the final PDF work and it is the same (the file attachment is from the PDF file) so it isn't only on my PC screen. Look at the right edge measure bars, they are full "out of line". Why? And, How could we fix it? ???
2) About the notes separation, I think the MuseScore way to separate (space) notes into the staffs is the best to the major musical works we make. BUT... There are times when we need a fix space between the notes. Think about the new students, they need to see some kind of relationship between the rhythm wrote on the staff and the sounds, and to make the things easy, I think it's better to show notes spaced regulary on time, on the screen, to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. In other words, something like a fix space font (like the Courier New truetype font) but to the notes spacing. Is there a way to get it? ???
Greetings!!!

1) Please attach the actual score, not just a picture. You can either make the notes smaller or use bigger paper or set the margins differently or reduce the space between the notes but seeing the actual score is needed to help answer this.
2) Not a good idea, in my opinion. I T W O U L D B E L I K E R E A D I N G A L L T E X T W R I T T E N T H I S W A Y. New students need to face up to the fact that real-world music has been written in a particular way for so long (whether it is correct or not) that they are stuck with it. I don't agree that non-standard spacing, shaped noteheads, coloured notes or having the note name (or a little dog or bird) inside the notehead really makes learning music easier beyond some short-term appearance.

Here is the full score of the piece.
Titles and instrument names are wrote in spanish, because this is my mother language, sorry.

Yes, as I said, you are simply trying to fit more music than can fit given your settings. You will have to reduce staff size, reduce margins, increase page size, or something. Maybe just shorten the instruments names. It's up to you *how* you make it fit, but again, there are just too many notes to fit right now given your settings.

Thanks a lot!!!
I adjusted the page parameters and the problem is fixed now!!!
BTW: I just have the typical computing printer, which just can handle typical Letter, A4 and Legal paper format (sizes). Isn't there a way to scale the final score (even when we know it's more large than the physical paper size) to fit into those "standard" paper sizes? ???

Scaling of output is the sort of thing your printer may have options for. Or, if you export to PDF, the program you print your PDF files from would probably have such scaling options. But in MuseScore, there would normally be no reason to choose larger than standard paper if you don't plan to print that way. If you have more staves than will fit on a standard sized piece of paper, you should make your music smaller (Layout / Page Settings / Staff space), not make the page larger.

OK.
I can see your point.
I will tried.
Unfortunately, the commercial printers weren't made thinking on musician necessities. So...
Well, I will tried.

It's always better to attach the actual score rather thasn just a picture. But I can certainly *guess* from the picture that you have tried to reduce the stretch too far in an effort to fit more music on a system than is actually possible given you other settings, especially "Layout / Page Settings / Staff space" and "Style / General / Measure / Minimum note distance".
For #2, I'm not quite sure I follow - you are saying you want to deliberate violate the usual rules of music spacing but instead have the music spaced where a half note takes exactly twice as much space as a quarter note, a quarter twice as much as an eighth, etc?
One way I've seen someone achieve that recently is to add an extra staff to the score and fill it will with sixteenths (or the smallest value in your score.
