Shorten length of final system

• Apr 19, 2018 - 15:44

As I finish up my score, I noticed that the final system of music is stretched to fit the full width of the page. However, that stretches the notes very far apart relative to the previous systems in the score. Is there a way to make the final system not stretch across the entire page, so that the notes can be similar to their spacing in the previous systems? I tried changing the "last system filled threshold" in the Page Settings, but it didn't do anything significant.

BTW, "last system fill threshold" does do something significant, and could also be a solution. As the name implies, this is a threshold - if the last system is more full than this, it stretches to fill the page, otherwise it doesn't. So the way to keep your system from stretching is to make sure it doesn't exceed the threshold - raise the threshold to 100%, for instance.
