How do I move whole measures?
I have finished a twelve-bar blues transcription but don't like how it's laid out. I want to move measures so that there are four measures per line. I can't find information on how to do that once the composition is completed. Can you help? Thanks.

Move "line break" marks (first in the "breaks and spaces" palette) to the fourth and eighth measures. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/breaks-and-spacers .

Thank you. I’ll give this a try today.
Or use Format / Add/Remove System Breaks to add them every four measures automatically.

When Robert Johnson and Skip James sang the blues, they didn't have either facility....

Ah... Yes indeed...
This quote...

It's a relatively new addition (compared to the other, older "rules").

Very excellent and relevant. MS/QML can set color properties easily, so any notes can become blue....as it were. There's another classic article (Onion?) interviewing the "deserted woman" of a canonical blues singer --- I will try to find it...

THIS IS IT! https://entertainment.theonion.com/blues-singers-woman-permitted-to-tel… People, perhaps not Americans, not familiar with the rhetorical idiom of the classic blues may not "get" this.

Ha! ...LOL!
Thanks for sharing... and researching. I never saw that one.
(Would have made a good Saturday Night Live sketch back in the day - even had the gasoline reference.)

That is so literate, so jam-packed laden with actual riffs from classic old songs. "you know what I'm talkin' about...." (-rj)
