reminder.
no! make each smallest unit a separate unit, you will have much
more freedom in layout later and in the parts.
The problem in this case is that, at least the movement I'm working
on, each staff has a different number of total notes (visually, they
are all "eighth notes"). But visually, the composer wants the final
note of the movement in each staff to line up. So I think in this
case, it makes more sense to use long single measures and invisible
tuplets.
The other thing is that the composer wants all the notes beamed, and
Robert's "beam over barlines" works better when there are fewer
barlines.
set the spacing at the start of the measure (measure tool) to -25;
do NOT space the parts when extracting, do the metered parts
manually after extraction, so the placement of everything stays in
place in the non-metered bits.
if you insist on one measure / system, make sure the score and
parts are the same format and percentage reduction so you can use
the same layout for the non-metered measures.
I think they're close enough that I can get away with the same system
breaks in the parts as in the score.
