Indenting systems

To indent a system:

Click the Page Layout tool $image\Page_Layout_Tool.gif$ . A dashed line borders every staff system on the page. A handle appears on the upper left and lower right of each system.
To adjust the left system margin, click and drag the upper left handle to the right. To define a specific position for a system margin using values, select the upper left handle, and then, choose Page Layout > Systems > Edit Margins. Use text boxes here to specify the placement of the selected margin. For details, see Edit System Margins dialog box.
