Sometimes I find that it is easier to create a new time signature for
the partial measure and hide the bar line and time signature in the
measure tools. Things stay where you put them. One warning with this
method is that each measure is counted in the measure numbers. You can
work around this by adjusting the number in the measure number dialog
box.

Hi all,
I'm stuck in an activity loop in FinWin2K3.
I am trying to split some very wide measures in a piece of solo flute
music.
Every time I add split points, the measure fragments jump to previous
systems -- no matter whether those previous systems are locked, have a
"fit
music" number of measures specified, "begin new system" specified, or
are
optimized. The previous staves are finished; I don't want anything
changed
in them.
I've tried dragging the errant measure ahead, and when it gets to a
certain
point, two measures drop down. Sometimes the three-handle split point
marker even appears in the wrong measure.
The measures have barlines invisible and time signatures hidden, but
lots
of odd time signatures to accommodate this very 'free' piece.
I keep undoing and trying something else, but I can't lay this piece
out
with split points, and I need them. Can anybody give me some advice on
this? I seem to remember doing it before without problems, but this
one is
fighting back.
(This was a file transported over time from FinWin2.2 to 3.7 to 97 to
2003.
I tried pasting into a new document, but the same problems persist.)
