I have followed ALL the instructions to move a measure to the next staff, and nothing works? I've tried locking and unlocking systems and every variation I can think of. Help? Either I'm doing something really dumb or my computer is mad at me....
Thanks! Caryl E

Has it worked before? (If so, try restarting the computer.)

What is the source of the file? Did you key it in, yourself?

Are you sure there is no page break involved?

Indeed probably a page break, but make sure Automatic Update Layout is on. Locked systems don't matter, so I don't know where you've been reading.

See the similar thread from today entitled "Page layout issue."
