If all else fails, go to the menu where you set up the Page Layout for Parts/Score (not under the File menu; I'm at work and can't remember which menu this falls under; it's the same one as you find Document Options), set all the parameters for the Score, then peform a Redefine All Pages which will wipe out all the existing page layout info (excepting any System Locks, which it will retain.) Then, do an Update, and hopefully, you will have the solution.
