Description
Your idea
I was referring to a feature that allows changing specific sizes, such as Staff space or Page settings, for each page. For example, if the default Page setting has the Staff size set to 0.059 inches, I want to change it to 0.048 inches for other pages within the same score. As far as I understand, in MuseScore 4, it seems that it's not possible to change the Staff space individually for each page within a single score. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Problem to be solved
Additionally, using the "Insert staff type change" in the Layer palettes allows for a similar function, but it takes an excessive amount of time, especially after notating modern scores. Moreover, there are numerous errors that occur when using the Staff type changer. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate an update that allows independent setting changes for each page or staff, similar to the feature in Finale.

Define how staff-space and other page properties should vary independently within one score, then verify that the new behavior avoids the reported staff type changer errors.
