Choose View > Page View.
Page View is one of two PrintMusic views of your music (the other is Scroll View). This is the default view and the view which the PrintMusic Default File presents you with when you open a new document. In Page View, you see your music exactly as it will be printed: laid out in systems, displaying page-attached as well as measure-attached text blocks, and stretching the measures as needed so that each line of music is flush with the margins. Because of this stretching effect, music that appears a little crowded in Scroll View often looks just right in Page View.
Every PrintMusic tool works in Page View. The Selection tool 
has some features that are available in one view but not the other. In addition, Page View has a few features of its own, accessible from the View menu. If you choose Fit in Window, PrintMusic will reduce the view of your music just enough to fit the entire page onto the screen at once.
By default, PrintMusic constantly updates the measure widths whenever you change something in the score. If you want to control this updating manually, you can disable Automatic Update Layout and use Utilities > Update Layout. This essential command re-formats every page, from the one you’re viewing to the end of the piece, neatly laying out evenly spaced measures and justifying them perfectly with the margins. (If you need to update the measure layout for the entire piece, as you should always do just before printing, choose the Update Layout command either in Scroll View or on page 1 of Page View.)
