measure too "stretched"
I am a first time user and all has been going well so far. I printed out the handbook and have been answering most of my questions.
However, I stumped. I have a 4 part choral song with piano accomp. The song has 36 measures. However, 1 of the measures is twice as long as all the others. There are the same amount of notes and words. It's just really stretched out.
I'm sure there is a simple fix. But, right now, I can't find it!!
Thanks so much for any input!

As always, posting the score would help. If it's the last measure on a line by itself, you can add a horizontal spacer after it so it isn't stretch to fill the entire page.
I guess you could right-click on the measure to get its measure properties. See if the stretch property is set to something weird (i.e., something significantly different from 1.0) That might be the problem.

as there is not really enough info, but if it is the last bar of the piece it may have to do with Style >general style > Page > system fill threshhold.
I have had a pickup measure at the beginning suddenly become larger and I could not shrink it. I finally inserted a new measure after it. Moved the notes into the new measure and then deleted the original measure with the pickup notes. Very odd, but easily overcome.
