Only one bar per page is printing from the score editor?

I am creating a song and want to print the score, however the score is 90 pages due to the fact that only one bar is being shown per page. Is there anyway to shrink or condense the score in order to fit more in per page?

Logic Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

There are multiple factors that determine the appearance of the score print out. It is a little bit complex, because each element changes the outcome and you have to be aware of all of them.

I explain all the details in a very easy to understand way in my manual "Logic Pro X - The Details" in its own Music Notation chapter on almost 100 pages.

Here are the elements that determine the print out:

Page Setup: Before you even open the Score Editor to prepare your print out, you should set the Paper Size and Orientation in the Page Setup window.
Score Set: For each Score Set, you can set a Scale factor in the upper right corner determining the zoom factor of the appearance, and therefore, how much stuff (bars) fit on one page/lin
Project Settings - Score: You have the parameter "Maximum Bars/Lines" that also affects the appearance
Formatting: You have various formatting Tools in the Score Editor that let you "fine tune" the line returns and page returns.

Hope that helps
