Score spacing.

[Ralph Little]

Hi,
I am having a problem with a score which, for the most part, fits fine
onto A4 landscape.
However, on one page, all the parts are double forte at about the same
point, and this pushes the staves apart sufficiently to drop the bottom
1 1/2 staves off the bottom. 

I've fitted the score onto the page by reducing the Staff
MinimumVerticalExtent, so I guess I'm pushing it.
As an alternative I can restore the defaults and print onto A3 landscape
instead (or A4 portrait and suffer having more pages and a bit of
waste). I have a few options.

As a general question of style though, I have a professionally produced
score which has the same number of staves and fits them all on
consistently and does not have this problem. Dynamic markings seem
abnormally small but look OK on a score.

Am I expecting too much from something that is largely automated (lord
knows, it does a damn good job!) or are there some tricks to fitting a
score onto a compact area?

Ralph
