Hello there! I am a aspiring arranger. I wrote a score in MuseScore 2.3.1, exported it to MusicXML and imported it into Finale for Windows 25.0.0.6858.

The MusicXML file appears to be valid, as Finale gives no errors in importing the document, but it comes out incredibly... "disjointed" as described in the title:

I don't know where to go from here... MuseScore shows the piece just fine:

Here is the MusicXML file:

The text being out of line is normal, at least for me. The rest of the file just look like it's forced too tightly together. Try Fit Music, with 3 or 4 measures per system.

 

If you would, send me the XML file to wawoodman at aol dot com

The Fit Measures option worked. Thanks!

I would let Finale's own spacing algorithms do the trick: select all, unlock systems and then respace. If you fit music, you may be forcing Finale to put more or fewer measures in the system than would be ideal. It looks as though your file just hadn't been spaced and the layout updated. (Make sure Automatic Update Layout is selected in Preferences.)
