can I get one measure at a custom stretch

• May 13, 2012 - 14:05

At the end of my music there is a measure I want to stretch a little. Can I get it the exact size I want? I tried, but it was only applying 2 fixed amounts of stretch and not accepting other customized widths. I wanted to try 1.10, but it was only accepting either 0.90 or 1.20

Interesting: on the way up it (the layout-stretch in measure properties) increments in .2 unit, so from 1 to 1.2, 1.4 etc. Down it does too, but from 1.0 goes down to 0.9 and up from there in .2 increments again.
So if you want 1.1, just decrement to 0.9, then increment to 1.1
Or just enter the exact number you want instead of using the up/down arrows, then you can even have 1.15

Do you perhaps mean there is one measure on the last system of the score, and you want it stretched to fill some more of the width of the page, but not the whole page? If so, stretch isn't the parameter you want, since it is ignored on the last system. Instead, you need to append a horizontal frame after the last measure of the piece, and size it to take up the amount of space you want.
