Christopher, I just got a bounceback message from the list. The reply with
my file is being held, waiting for approval because of its size. With any
luck, you'll get it tomorrow.

Hi, Christopher. I've tried the (Adjust) Edit Systems fix (WinFin06'
XP) you recommended but it has not worked, alas. I've noticed that on
the problem pages the system handles extend well beyond the bottom of
the page to about 32". I can't find a way to
click/drag/edit/cajole/threaten the handles back into place. All of
this takes place on systems 34-54. System 33, as you suggested, was
used to edit through the end of the piece but to no avail. I'm sure
it's something I've screwed up inadvertantly. Thanks for your patience
and help.

Bruce,
None of this is a fatal problem.
I quote from before
If you select Adjust System Margins from the Page Layout menu, then
click on a system you like the settings for, then in the Adjust System
Margins window select "from [insert system number] to _ [leave it
blank to go to the end of the document]" and hit Apply. All the
systems will inherit the settings of the one you first clicked on. If
you only want some settings applied, then make sure only those boxes
are checked.
In this box you can also MANUALLY put in values for each of the margins.
Plus is right or up, negative is left or down, all values calculated from
the staff lines.
All you have to do is click the system, select Adjust System Margins,
then enter a value like 0 for the bottom system margin, hit Apply. If you
say Apply to Systems 34 through [blank] it will make this adjustment for
every system from 34 to the end. Then all the bottom handles will all be
nestled tightly against the bottom right-hand staff of each system.
This is very powerful stuff, and you have to know it. Look up in the
manual under Adjust System Margins. You won't be sorry.
If this doesn't work you might have file corruption. Send me the file
privately and I will take a look. Don't worry, I am not in the habit of
stealing people's works and passing them off as my own.
Christopher
