As the title says,
I am trying to print a part. Since I don't like the spacing, I applied spacing to it.
But the part was 1 page long, and now it takes more space.
But there is still only one page, so my part is truncated.
Part incomplete, keeping its one page size after applying spacing.

Are you saying that there should be 2 pages but the 2nd page doesn't display? If so, try "Update Layout" from the Utilities menu. Otherwise, post the part here and someone will figure it out.

Thank you!
Utilities/Update Layout did the job.
However, it wouldn't do anything even with Automatic Update Layout checked in the preferences...
By the way, I wonder why this (update layout) has been figured out as an option in the first place.
What's the point?

Finale has existed for quite many years.
{Update Layout} goes waaay back to the time when computers had much less speed and memory than today.

Two commands you want to commit to memory is Ctrl+D and Ctrl+U. The first redraws the screen and the later updates the file.
I am sure there are similar commands for Mac users. If you use the selection tool or Ctrl+A you can specify exactly where you want and what you want updated.

It must be a bug that the layout isn't updated after adding measures. I usually layout all the measures at the very beginning, which may be why I haven't encountered it. I do vaguely recall that occasionally the last page didn't appear after flowing some music into it, and I think I switched between scroll and page view and that fixed it. Next time, I'll try Ctrl+U.
Recently, someone complained that when they printed their music it looked different from how it did on the screen, and it turned out that they had turned Automatic Update Layout off, and the printout reflected what the music really looked like. So I think "updating the layout" really means reflecting reality in the display, and it should be left on. Like Peter says, it's a leftover from the days when computers and displays were slow, and you could turn it off to speed things up, at the expense of periodic manual updates. In these days of fast computers, it's best left on.
