Last line / measure width of a section

• Oct 1, 2015 - 14:49

Hi! If I have a section break, and in the last line there are just a few notes, this line is justified and occupies the whole width of the page. How can I set that it only occupies the space/width as it would in a normal line?
Thanks

This is the way it is by default: problem.png
This is what I would like: desired.png

add a horizontal Frame and apply the section break to that

Thank you, that works! Anyways, is there a global setting for this maybe? So that I don't have to do it everywhere?

Not that I'd know of. Maybe the Setting for the last measure if a score should be taken into account on the last measure of a section too. Not sure, but might be worth a Feature request in the issue tracker

Wait a sec - there's already a solution for this:

In the main menu, go to Style->General->Page->Last system fill threshold (increase the percentage value).

Does that work for the last measure if a section too? And not just for the last measure of a score?

My apologies - you're quite right - surprisingly, indeed it does apply only to the last system in the score. It makes sense that it should apply to the end of any section (maybe optionally?) too though, so it's good you filed an FR for this.

It only applies to the last row of the whole score unfortunately, not for a last row of a section.

What I suspected... I think it should, but this may not be a bug, rather a Feature request.
Edit: I filed it, #81856: Last system fill threshold apply to last measure of a section if bool property set for that section break
Edit 2: I see you reported it too...
