Stretching length of more than 1 bar

• Jan 29, 2023 - 10:32

I am using version 4 on a Macbook Pro. I have problems with stretching factors of bars, in particular when the last bar of a piece lands on a separate page. When selecting multiple bars & use the Control key, the floating menu does not stay in place. When I change the stretch factor, the top of the floating window refers at only the last bar of the selection. Grateful for your kind assistance.

I just found out that underneath "Format", the pull-down menu mentions "Stretch". Select all bars of which you want the stretch factor changed, press the right pointing arrow next to the word "Stretch"and select the desired option: Increase stretch, decrease stretch and restore to default values. It works in a smart manner - it was apparently noted that there was one single bar on the last page & and subsequently all bars were fitted to two pages. I attach the file in question. When choosing the reset option to default values, the last bar will appear on page 3. The option "Decrease stretch" will result as described above.
