Widows
A widow is a bar on a single line at the end of a piece; it looks unsightly; even two bars on a line at the end of a piece is not great either. What parameter do I use to control this. is it minimum bar width?

ok folks I discovered it's make the spacing tight at 1.0
"Last system fill threshold"
Another possible cure is the the use of appending a horizontal frame
Or to reduce stretch, so that last measure find enough room in the previous system

This is what I see of your score
If I see something like that I enter system breaks on a few lines above it to force a few measures to appear on the line with the widow. For example, I'll start 3 systems above and put the system break before the last measure, I will then do the same with the next two systems. This puts 4 measures in the final system.

I found a solution for my case as above but this may work for this one case and not others. Tell me more about 'system break'; where do I find them?
Thanks,
Keith
