Very occasionally I am unable to fill in the blank lower part of a page with systems from the following page(s).
The command works fine on most pages but balks on one or two. In such cases the end of the page usually lacks the page icon.

Has anyone come across this behavior?

I use version 7.

No, and I haven't heard of the issue before now but try this.

Select All
Unlock Format
Reset Space above Staves

This will probably result in something that looks nothing like what you want, so then reformat from scratch.

There's no way to tell what you've done to the scores that exhibit this behaviour, but you've done something somewhere without knowing it!

And I assume that you're not actually using version 7, but the final version, 7.1.3. If not, update!

Thanks for your response.

It still refused to combine into one page. The selected staves still spread across two pages with lots of empty space.

And yes, I have the latest 7 version with updates, whatever that is.

If you email me the score I will take a look at it to see what can be seen.
