Is there a way to do this without page breaks?

To clarify, though - I guess you are talking about music with only one system per page, so all five of those measures are on the same line? If so, then indeed line breaks are what you want, and Edit / Tools / Add/Remove Line Breaks would be the easiest way to add them every five measures.

On the first page there is four bars, thereafter there are five bars per line.

If you select the fifth bar then ctrl+shift+end to select to the end of the score you can apply the system breaks automatically every 5th measure. You will need to manually put the break on the 4th measure.

Did you post the right link? I see varying number of bars throughout - some have four, some five, some three, etc. And that's normally as it should be. Some measures have more notes than others and thus really should take more space to avoid looking crowded; others should take less space to avoid looking too empty. Forcing a consistent number of measures per page tends to result in music where some lines look unnecessarily crowded, others look unnecessarily empty. Unless you have some special-purpose reason to do this (eg, music for children is often published this way, so are lead sheets), it's usually a bad idea.

I haven't got past that I guess. I will just manually place system breaks which just found out how to do.
