I also described (or tried to) another uncontrollable situation. On one staff

the line, making the single measure look way too wide. So you drag the bar
line and fix it. Fine, if you print right away, but go to another part and
return to this one, and take a look. The spacing has sprung back to the

Have you tried editing the multimeasure rest width with the Measure Tool
(control-click the measure, select Edit Multimeasure Rest, and change the
width)?
I believe this problem would not actually go away by editing the width,
either. The problem lies with the automatic update mm rests option,
which is found in the document options->Multimeasure rests, which for
this very reason should be switched off as soon as work on the parts
starts. I have deactivated this option as a default after having spent
hours trying to work out why the mm rests always reverted to the
defaults after I had edited them.
