Is there a way to "Force" measures to be in different systems? I have a system that should have 6 bars in it, but the 6th bar migrated down to the next system. I'd like it to go back up because it's the last bar of a verse, and it would make more sense visually. Thanks!

Hi Nathan,

Currently, the only way to achieve this in the iPad app is to change the point size of the Notation. Tap the gear wheel and select one of two: Print Settings (for printed output) or iPad View Settings (for what you see on the iPad). You may have to do some experimentation with point size, page size/orientation, and margin width, to find a combination that works in as many systems as possible.

Forcing a measure onto a certain system is right now only possible in the desktop version of Notion.

Best,
Thorrild

But there is a way to "force new system", so have you tried forcing a new system at the beginning of your 6 bar selection and then forcing a new system at the end? Maybe it would isolate those 6 bars in one system?
