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.
ah, yes, aha it's "one of those". then yes definitely ignore my suggestion and go for 1 measure/system.
I think they're close enough that I can get away with the same system breaks in the parts as in the score.
really make them equal if you have the power to do so; sometimes even a small change can cause big changes, depending on how you enter the notes. also, if it is a small chamber ensemble (up to 5 or so), they will likely prefer to play from the score, not the parts, especially if there is "significant" proportional (non-metered) spacing. and if they play from parts, depending again on the music, it can be veeeeeery useful to include all or at least 2 of the other instruments in each part as simultaneous cues.
