Why are there all these blank pages in my layouts?

I’m on deadline and all of a sudden this file is arbitrarily adding pages and then disappearing music from the flows. I can’t figure out how on earth to deal with this.

2025 Bivolita book — 06 Khosidl - try again for steinberg. .dorico (1.6 MB)

Your Top music frame margin in the Full Score layout is HUGE!
1143 mm equals 45 inches.
Try changing that to something roughly the same as the Bottom margin and see if that solves any problems.

It might be worth checking the Violin layout too.

PS
My preferences are set to display measurements in metric.
If you are using inches, the Top music frame margin will display as 45. Try putting a decimal point (with a leading zero) in front of the 45. That will bring it down to 11.43 mm.

thanks very much. I reconstructed the whole file using a save-as from a different file in the series.

That’s good to know.
Did my suggestion help? I like to know if the time I spend assisting fellow Dorico users is not wasted.
