Hello Forum,
Sibelius 25, Mac.

The first page of a file appears smaller than the rest of the score (screenshot). How do I correct this?

Thank you,
A. P.

Your post says Sibelius 25. This is a finale forum. Did you mean Finale 25?

If it is Finale, there can be at least 2 ways to correct the page size difference. Which do you want: the one for page one or the one for page two?

Select the Page Layout Tool. In the Page Layout Menu, go to "Update Page Format for Score" and make sure it's checked. Then go to Page Size and set your desired size there. Specify "All Pages" and click OK. That should do it. If the music does not fill out the entire page (too much white space at bottom), select the Resize Tool ("%"), click in the middle of the first system (in a white spot, not on a stave) and slightly increase the staff height for all systems until you get it right.

Yes, forgive the confusion on my part, of course I meant Finale 25.

That's where the knot was, thank you very much.


Problem solved, thank you for the advice.
