It’s useful to remember that you can adjust
the relative widths of the measures in any particular system.
- Go to Page View, if you’re not already there.
You change views by choosing View > Page View.
- Choose Utilities > Update Layout.
- Click the Measure tool . A handle
appears on every barline.
- Drag the handle of any measure to the right
or left. As you make one measure wider, the one to its right becomes
narrower. (You can adjust all measures in a system except the last one
with this method.)
