Is there a feature to breakup one measure into several lines?
Hi! Recently I Added a tuplet of 67 notes as in one crotchet. Besides it involves sharps and flats at many of these notes so this part looks incredibly LOOOOONG. It exceeds a line.
At first I tried to break the measure into two lines but failed to figure out a way. I have solved this problem now by use small notes and accidentals so that they were finally compressed in one line of an A4 page. But I don't find it a utilitarian way to do so -- It will be better to divide a long measure into several lines, by breaking up long tuplets into several parts, for example.
That's way I came here for help. I have searched for solution here several times while haven't found a similar topic(maybe the keywords I chose aren't pertinent enough?). If you guys found a way to solve this "too long measure" problem, please share if you have time, thank you!
(I know in most cases breaking up measures in several lines is not a standard way to score but sometimes it just comes handy! :) )

You can split measures, but you can't split tuplets

Is the tuplet too long for a line on its own or the whole measure (you don't mention the time signature BTW)?
If the first the only way will be small notes in the tuplet.
If the second here is how to do it: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/measure-operations#split-join

Yes too long for a line on its own. The measure is thereby elongated.
I have tried, can't split tuplets and join to measures won't help(still exceeding the line). So I only can compress these tuplets or using several groups of tuplets.
Thank you! :)
(5/4 BTW, which is unimportant to this issue yet)

Yes, it is the thing: It prompts "Cannot split tuplets". Besides I find that in MuseScore we usually don't span a measure into two lines -- just split it into two. Thanks.

After splitting the measure in two, simply add a line break after the first part.

Ok I got it -- thanks! :)
