Printing out staff view - measures become stretched - any way to fix this?

Sonar does fynny things to the staff view when it prints it out - like stretching measures to go across the page when there is no reason to do so. Even going to a smaller "cadenza" size etc. does not help with this.
 
Is there any way to manually edit how Sonar staff view displays its measure for print?
 
Thanks!

    Forget what it's called but there is a way to have notes round up or down to clean up the display of notes. It's purely visual and does not actually change the way notes are played. This is helpful if you played the notes via a midi keyboard. If you entered them by hand this will not help. 

    Other then that, there is very little, if any control on how sonar formats for printing. I have brought this up long long ago in staff discussions and the impression I got from sonar users is they don't care if printing looks good. Like they would say use Sibelius or what ever. I have Sibelius and that's not the point. Sonar needlessly waists tremendous space when formatting for print. Like let's say 12 pages what other programs would fit in four or five pages. It's unusable and should be embarrassing for cakewalk.
