My arrangement could fit on one page, but i just can't remove those giant gaps between the lines.

Is there someone who can handle this?

Check your submission post; I've addressed this issue there. :)

So the PDF I made of this arrangement (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=8424.0) looks fine, but it gets messed up in the MUS version. Could someone with a better version of Finale just change these layout things and post it on the original thread:
-Uniform fonts for the composer/arranger text
-Take out the "Pno."s at the beginning of lines
-m.1, 3,5,7, 23 (1 after the double bar): Alignment of staccatisimo
-Move the words (like "Intense", "sempre stacato", etc.) so they don't cross with the notes
-m.9, 10, 13, 31 Fix the spacing between the notes/staccatos and dynamics
-Proper formatting for the copyright text
-Fix spacing between 1st/2nd endings and accents
-Fix spacing between 8vb/8va markings and notes
-Whatever else you feel is desperately in need of fixing

Thnx!

Here you are.

Let me know if there is anything I missed. I am posting this on the help forum and submission post.

Two small things:

For this one, I would like all the eighths to be swung. I think Notepad won't allow me to because it's in cut time.

For this one, I completely forgot that there should be a D.S. al Fine. The segno should be at the beginning of measure 2. Thanks!

I'm actually not able to figure this out myself either. Cut time could be the issue but that's still strange.

Here's the second one though. Let me know if I messed anything up.

It is quite strange. I've tried several things to solve the problem, but none have been successful. I guess I'll just leave it as it is for right now.

Just noticed that when the song repeats back to the segno, it starts on measure 4 instead of measure 3. That might be partially my fault; I counted the pickup as measure 0 instead of measure 1.

Here you go. For future reference, if you want swung eighths in cut time, set the actual time signature to 4/4 and the displayed time signature as 2/2 or cut time. If you set both to cut time, it will actually swing the quarters, which usually isn't what you want.

Pardon the double-post, but can someone fix this one? Thanks.

(And it was E major, by the way.)
