AT the end of a certain length of the score the some pages start to englarge themselves.
The Enlarged JPG is the one i am talking about whereas regular JPG is the standard size.

That happens because new pages take their size from the default page size, rather than the current page size. (Stupid, but that's the way it is...) Using the resize tool, right-click on the first page and choose Resize Page... then apply that setting to the entire piece.

Document format->Page format->score
is the place where default parameters are stored (page format, orientation, page and system margins, and resize %).
But these parameters will only be applied to the whole score if you go to the the Layout tool->Layout menu and apply Redefine pages->all pages.
(I hope that these instructions are the same in PrintMusic ??? Otherwise, I apologize for intervening)

Sorry, michelp, but that's not a PM option.

Composer,
Select the resize tool. Right-click on a blank part of the page, outside of the music. Select Resize Page...

If you post the file, I'll take a look at it. (Remember that you have to zip the file to post it here.) Or, send me a private message, and I'll give you my e-mail so you can send it directly to me.
