How to keep more meassures in a system?
Hi!
I Need to keep four measures in a system, as this example:
So, I did stretch the measures to 0, but they still look:
Is any more way to stack them?
Thanks!

Layout/Decrease Layuot Stretch?
Try Scaling https://musescore.org/en/handbook/page-settings

But if I scaled, it would affect all the work?

Scaling affects the entire score, but you can then use system breaks to put the measures on the proper systems.

Yes it would affect the whole score. After scaling use line breaks to adjust the note lines again, see: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/breaks-and-spacers
Or above: Beside decreasing the stretch of measures (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/layout-and-formatting#layout-stretch) you also could change the spacing of the measures (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/general-style-measure).
As you can see, there are several possibilities to change the layout.
Generally if reducing stretch won't allow things to fit that seem like they physically could, it is the minimum note distance or another setting in Style / General / Measure (like barline to note or note to barline distance) standing in your way.
However, you might consider whether it is really worth it it to make your music so cramped just because it happend to work out that way in the music you are copying. They are dealing with different sizes, different fonts, etc, and just because four measures happened to fit wel for them here doens't mean it makes sense for it to here. Maybe somewhere else it will work out the other way around.
