Stretch feature not working
The stretch feature suddenly stopped working for me. When I added a note to a measure, the measure increased in length to the entire page. Using the { key, the measure will not reduce in length as it did before. Is there another way to change the physical length of a measure?

Right-click into the measure, Measure properties > Layout stretch
But that may not be the problem at all, better share the score

Thanks Jojo. I resorted to resetting all. Fortunately there are only 24 measures. Are you aware if there's a possibility of locking the measure size? Sure would be nice.

No, there isn't
You should almost never be messing with stretch. Can you explain in more detail what you were resorting to this for? normally, the spacing from measure to measure should already be reasonably consistent. if you want fewer measures on a given system, simply add a system break. if you want more measures on a given system, you might need to sue stretch, but usually its better to reduce staff size and/or change the score-wide spacing setting.
So again if you explain in more detail what you are trying to do - and attach your score we we can see for ourselves what is going on - we can understand and assist better.
