Albums / Keeping titles with first bars
I am experimenting with the album feature. Thanks to the handbook and various topics in this forum, I'm nearly there, but stuck on one last formatting issue: keeping a movement's title together with its first bar.
I have several movements in individual files and am joining them in the album manager. Enabling the section break in the album manager, then extracting parts makes each movement start after a section break. Great.
However, in some cases, there is only enough space for the title at the bottom of a page, but not a stave, so the first bar of that movement appears on the next page.
I could go through and manually insert spacers, but does anyone know of some sort of automatic "keep together" feature?
(There is something similar in Microsoft Word preventing word wrap, for example)

Try to use the page break on the last measure.

Thanks for your very quick response!
My attached screenshot shows 'almost' exactly what I want, but I need the "foo 4" title on the next page. If I put page breaks on the last measure of each movement, they'd all start on fresh pages, which I don't want. I'd like them free-flowing, but without the title and first bar separated.

only on foo3 last measure?

Haha yes. But if I then increased the length of my first movement, I could end up with "foo 2" or "foo 3" on a different page to their first bar. And the manual page break on foo3 last measure would leave half of the following page blank. It would be nice to find an automatic way of doing it.

First enter the notes, then adjust the layout ;-)

Very professional, but slightly different to the effect I'm looking for, thanks.
