Tricky problem to do with measure width, horizontal frame, key change, page break

• Aug 10, 2011 - 21:19

Ok, quickest way to see what I'm trying to do is to have a look at the .pdf produced in Sibelius, attached.

There is a single bar at the bottom of a page, not full page width, then a cautionary key change, then the new key on the next page. I've got pretty close to this in musescore, but I have a stray barline (or something) at the end of the page which I can't seem to get rid of. Anybody fancy having a look at the file and see what can be done? Maybe I'm not going about this right? I've attached the .mscz file also.

If you put a line break instead you can manage to have something better but the measure will be large.
If it's just about the graphical aspect, I would do it with invisible measures instead

Ok, thanks for that, this is kind of better. It's only a visual thing, playback isn't important, so two hidden bars is possible. But I still would really like the cautionary key signature change at the bottom of the first page.

I'll have another look at this later. I'm hoping to present this at a conference, it would be swanky to be able to do it using f/ossware rather than Sibelius.
