Add/remove system breaks
The Format > "Add/remove system breaks" function in previous versions has been replaced by a Format > "Measures per system" function in version 4.5. Is the old "Add/remove system breaks" function still available somewhere?

I don't think so. And why would you want the previous function?

I understand "Add/remove system breaks" but I don't understand system locks, which seems more complicated.

They want you to lock everything because 4.5 might respace everything otherwise

even within 4.5 it seems not to be able to keep the layout. I made 3 instruments in a specific layout yesterday, have printed pdf, but unfortunately i had to correct few mistakes. after opening the layout suddenly changed and I can't get it how it was. Didn't change anything as far as I know after the save yesterday

Unless you use system breaks, 4.5 will indeed reset your score. They say it is to save space.

Best to attach your score and explain in more detail. Certainly the layout shouldn't be changing from one moment to the next in the same version, but it's just as certainly true there might be some layout changes here and there between versions.

It's not more complicated - it works more simpler and better than better. Adding breaks every four bars might still leave you with systems that have only three bars because a fourth didn't fit (so the next system would have only one). The new function actually forces all four bars to fit. So, use it exactly as you always have - it just works better now.
