Won't let me add stretch
I'm creating a score without barlines, having done this by giving a time signature of 32/1, which I'll then set invisisible. It's all cramped so I want to stretch it out to four systems. I selected the bar - layout - add more stretch but nothing happened.
The reason I want to do this is because of a piano pupil playing this piece who is stopping at every barline and I wanted to write it out for her like this in the hope that she'd understandthat it's continuous.
What should I do?

Thanks for the attempt, and it's useful to realise I could do it landscape but, no, that's not going to be any easier as it's still cramped. Thanks again.

there is a second measure, you see if you choose the little notes

You need one bar per system

how about this?

So you just did it in 3/4 time but made the barlines invisible? That's fantastic, exactly what I want. Just confirm that's what you did.
Neither stretch nor anything else in MuseScore will let you continue a single measure over multiple lines. So one way or another, you need to break it up. Since the piece really is in 3/4, simply entering it that way then hiding the barlines is the most straightforward way to do it. However, there will be a bit of extra horizontal space if you do it that way, which might defeat you purpose of making it look like one uninterrupted flow of quarter notes. You can work around that by double clicking notes and nudging them left or right with the arrow keys. Or, you can decide how many beats you want per line and set up your score that way. 4 bars of 3/4 is 12/4, so that would give you twelve uninterrupted beats per line.

That's fantastic, Marc, thanks very much. I had thought originally of doing invisible barlines but I thought the spacing might be not quite as if it were written without barlines; your reply has also told me how I'd move notes. Brilliant. Thanks again.
Where don't comes Musescore's flexibility can come the users imagination.
an unbeatable team ;-)
