Hi Forum!

It's the strangest thing, I can set my bottom system margins to 0 but still I get a unchangeable margin of an estimated 500 evpus.

I'm at the end of my wits, can someone give me a hand?

I attached the .musx file

Thx so much!!!

I use the Page Layout Tool/Page Margins.
I set it in Inches, then Space Systems Evenly/All Pages/Do Not Change the Number of Staves.
Then it pops into place.
I changed the Bottom Margin to .25 Inches, applied the Page Layout and it moved into place.
Not sure what You want it do, but this will Change the Margins!

The behavior is definitely connected to the fact that you have hidden staves. I'm not sure how to cure the behavior, but I will keep trying.

The file seems to be bloated with hidden staves. I think trying to accomplish what you want might be daunting. I tried creating a linked part with the 4 staves you want, and that seems to be a better way at getting the look you need.

P.S.: I think you need to start over with this file. It's a mess.

Yeah, it has a lot of hidden staves --> Template file.

Creating the linked part has solved the problem.

This is directly from my template and the 'mess' has been my fear for a while. Hearing it from you, it might be wise to start from scratch... :-S

Thanks again!

I had a similar problem, and I fooled around with resize systems, these buttons. Different settings both cause, and/or fixed the problem. Don't know why.
