How do I stop Sharp/Flat from Expanding/Contract Bar Size?

• Jun 5, 2016 - 01:21

Hello, sometimes when I add or remove a sharp or flat, Musescore will bump a measure to/from the following lines. This can be very distracting. Is there a way to stop this, for example by setting minimum bar sizes?

Thanks! I am on version 2.0.2 on a PC.

You can in fact set a minimum measure width (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/general-style-measure), but I don't recommend that for this purpose. Instead, use manual line breaks (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/breaks-and-spacers), or just work in Continuous View to avoid the problem (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/viewing-and-navigation#viewing-modes).
