How to collect barlines on one page?

[Olenr1]

Hi there you experts
I have been writing some sheetmusic because the original was too cluttered, but Sibelius have decided to divide my piece over 2 pages. I have been looking at "how to.." videos on youtube to try to figure this out, but cant seen to find the right solution. Soo the question is; how to move the three barlines from page 2 to page 1. Yes it will be compact, but that's OK

1. Turn off all auto breaks
2. Decrease your margin settings
3. Reduce the staff size slightly
4. Reduce the gap between staves

Do number 1. Then try the others one at a time.

Ah, thanks, but I was suddenly aware of the button "Make Into page" and it worked

So you've re-cluttered the score by just using 'Make into Page'?

If so, and if you really must have everything on one page, I'd go back and follow the excellent instructions given above. I hate cluttered scores - makes for hard reading! If one of my students hands one in, it gets given straight back with strict instructions to make it more readable!

Well, I'm A Norwegian guy and might have used the word "cluttered" in a wrong manner. What I meant by cluttered, was that the piece was a bad photocopy of a yellowish old march book with the previous owners pencil and pen writing on it, and the size were something between A4 and A5. And now it has been "restored". I can show you, but it might not be legal to show on this site?

Ah, that makes sense!

"Rost in transration" as some of my Japanese friends would jokingly tell me when translating Japanglish!
