Forcing a measure to previous system
Hello!
This program continues to astound me. As a former heavy Finale user, I came back to scoring 12 years later to find MS and my compliments!
I have searched the forums filled with willing, kind and very helpful people for a solution to the attached, it is pretty obvious when you see it lol I would like that bottom measure to play nice with the rest of the kids and move to the previous system. I have tried the TOOLS-add/remove sys breaks but I am not getting anywhere and would appreciate some help if you would be so kind please? Thank you kindly!
Marco

Remove all sys breaks;
Add them manually from the Breaks palette.
See http://musescore.org/en/handbook/layout-and-formatting, esp. "last system fill threshol"
Could you attach here your score?

Please, since you offered, would you mind? I have attached the score so far. I did try all the steps and would rather learn for myself, but no luck so far.

Enter all the notes, you'll finally set up the layout.
In the attachment I used: Layouts/Page Settings/Scaling->1.650
Edit: then you can use->Edit/Tools/Add/Remove System Breaks (eg. 4 bars)
