On several big band charts I have engraved recently, as I prepare the score for printing I discover that at about page 8 the display has changed size by about double. In other words, pp. 1-7 show as being at 100% and all 19 staves fit on one page. Then from page 8 to the end, all margins have changed, and notes display at double the previous page’s size.
My current work-around is to change the percent from page 8 on. But still this is less than satisfactory, as margins for page systems are off from there on, and other page display items (headers & footers, page numbers, song title, etc.) differ in their size.
What should I have done when beginning my document to anticipate and avert this glitch? How do I correct this after-the-fact (get both margins consistent throughout the document and make display look like the same percent?

Probably what happened is you changed the page size when you only had 7 pages, but you didn't change the default page size. When new pages are created, they use the default page size, NOT the size the previous page had. Maybe you used the Zoom Tool (looks like %). This only affects the pages you tell it to, so if you create more pages later, they are not affected.
Find your page size settings, and make sure Default Page Size>Score is set that way. Then in Page Layout Tool, select Redefine Pages (only change 8 to the end if you are afraid of screwing up pages 1-7. This will set all the new pages to the new Default Page Size.
