Hi, panworks:

It sounds as though there is a page break in the layout at the top of the page with only a couple of bars in it.

Choose the Layout tab, then click on the Page Layout icon in the Main Palette. You should now see a greyed-out version of the score.

Check to see if there is a dotted line with "page break" in the centre of it at the top of the last page.

If so, click on that (it should turn blue), then press the "Delete" key. It should disappear and your orphan bars should now join up with your new page.

Hope that helps.

David
