Set fixed measure size
Hello,
Can someone please tell me how (if possible)! to set a defined measure size- regardless of the content.
I need all the bar lines to be the exact distance apart.
Thanks.

This used to be possible in MuseScore 1.x but got removed in 2.0, as it caused more problems than it was worth keeping. Check https://musescore.org/en/search/site/fixed%20measure%20width
I am using 1.3 Musescore. What is puzzling me is how to change the length of a bar. Problem is that some of the downloaded lead sheets have bars that take up the full length of one line. This causes the lead sheet to be longer than is necessary, when what is desired is a shorter measure, more in line with the rest of the measures where there are 3 or 4 per line. This often causes extra unnecessary and unwanted pages. Please offer method to reduce length of one of the measures - hopefully the rest of the measures will back up to this shortened measure. Thanks Bill

Most likely there is a line break at the end of the measure and that is why it takes the whole line. Impossible to say for sure without seeing the score, though (the actual MSCZ file, not just a picture). If this is the case, simply removing the line breaks will make it look as it should.
