Hello Michael, You should experiment with the values in: options/doc.options/music spacing/spacing widths. I could replicate your results in finmac2k3, when the the bottom button was activated and the reference value was 1024; making this smaller, 512 gave an acceptable result and also choosing the upper button in this dialog window was o.k. Apparently the values of these options work against an automatic broadening of your example measures in 6/8 time. Making the measures larger, making more room for everything, also works. hope this helps, klaas de jong.
