To adjust
measure widths in a system
It’s useful to remember that you can adjust
the relative widths of the measures in any particular system.
- Go to Page View, if you’re not already there.
You change views by choosing Page View from the View menu.
- Choose Update Layout from the Utilities menu.
- Click the Measure Tool
. A handle
appears on every barline.
- Drag the handle of any measure to the right
or left. As you make one measure wider, the one to its right becomes
narrower. (You can adjust all measures in a system except the last one
with this method.)
