In page view, I have three total pages. When I print, it takes four pages. The part has no rests, therefore page turning four pages would be difficult. I resized and fit to two pages. But no change--the printer still prints out four pages!

Thank you.

If you can attach your resized file, someone may be able to help.

Billy May,

My first guess would be that you on the computer screen are viewing the Score, but printing the linked Part.

In the Document menu you can choose

Edit Score

or

Edit Part > …

Make sure you are viewing, what you need to print (view Score when printing Score; view linked Part when printing linked Part).
