One Measure Systems with Horizontal Space in Between?
I am trying to layout an entire page with two columns of drum exercises. Each row would contain two one-measure systems separated by horizontal white space. I can't seem to make this happen. Anyone have thoughts?
Getting a single-measure system is easy. Getting two on one line is seemingly impossible.
Thanks

What you need is a horizontal spacer - see Break or spacer .
But if you have a lot of these you that you really want to line up neatly in columns, then rather than create individual horizontal spacers on each line and fiddling with them to get them to line up, it might be easier to just create the two columns each as separate scores (with page size set appropriately narrow), export them both as PNG files, then paste them up in a graphics program. Definitely more work than just inserting spacers if this is just a one-off thing, but if you're producing a whole book of exercises laid out in two columns like that, it might prove easier in the long run.

Thanks for the reply. Your idea about pasting them after the fact may be the way to go.
As for spacers, I thought they only created vertical space. Am I wrong?

Sorry, I used the wrong word - I meant, "break", it "spacer". But they are both described on the same Handbook page that I lonked to above - Break or spacer . So see that page for more info.
