Last staff on Score half page width

• Sep 22, 2018 - 10:21

I'm a musescore newbee and would be gratefull for any help.

When I create a new score, for drums, with a single staff via
File>New
Enter score name
Next>General
Percussion>Unpitched > Drumset

If I set the number of bars to 4, the staff is only half the width of the page.

If I set it to 8, I can insert a break but the last line will only be half the page width.

Basically no matter what I do, if I want 4 bars per line I always end up with a staff that is only half the page width at the end. If I delete it, the bar before will change to half the page width.

How can I make the last staff a full page width?

Thank you

Note, though, that's only half width when it's empty - as soon as you enter notes, it will most likely stretch to fill the full width. Only if the measures are so narrow enough that they fall below the threshold set in the aforementioned option will it not stretch. So that happens when empty, but as soon as you enter some notes, probably it will exceed the threshold on its own.
