Resolved - [4.1] Section break not taking full width of page

• Jul 21, 2023 - 18:59

I'm working on typesetting a large work that I have in a handwritten score. Sometimes when I reach the end of a section and add a "Section Break" from the layout menu, the system condenses to be shorter than the full margin-to-margin page width. Is there a way to keep the section break without compromising on the width of these lines?

This is a feature - each section is normally considered to follow the standard engraving principle of indenting the first system and only justifying the last if the system is sufficiently full. You can change both of those settings in Format / Style - you can toggle the indentation fo the first system on the Score tab, and force the justification of the last on the Page tab (and no, there's not a great reason for these to be on two different tabs, aside from the fact that these these features were developed at very different times).
