Repeat barline colliding with notes
In the attached example, the repeat barline in measure 8 (highlighted in red) is touching notes following it. It would be desirable in the default spacing/layout to have more space between this barline and the following notes. Related to this is a question: is it possible to move the position of a single barline (you might be able to guess which one I want to move...)?

(Created with MuseScore 0.9.6.3 on Windows XP).
The recommended method is to use measures with shorter actual duration, in order to create the same effect (see measure operations , "Duration" for instructions).
That way, playback will also work correctly.
I was wondering why the repeats weren't being followed :-)
However, this causes another problem which I was trying to avoid in the sneaky way that I added the repeat barline in the middle of measure 8. In your counter-example, the number of the measures is off by one (the last system is starting with measure 12 in your example, but that is supposed to be measure 11).
In the handbook, see Measure operations , "Irregular" for instructions on how to avoid counting pickup measures in the numbering.
Thanks!
Once artificially-intelligent manuals are invented, I will be all set. Until then you are working out well :-)
