preserve manual measure spacing
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
I have a couple of measures that I need to adjust manually for spacing. Finale doesn't get it quite right. I use the measure tool to drag the measures to stretch out one or two of the them, but I find that Finale reverts back to the old spacing when I make other changes elsewhere. I have the same problem when I manually slide notes left and right for spacing: the note spacing reverts back when I make changes somewhere else in the document. How do I keep these manual adjustments persistent?

1) Take a look in
Preferences - Edit
In the pane Automatic Settings, is the setting
Automatic Music Spacing
selected or de-selected?
(NB: this is program specific)
2) Document Options - Multimeasure Rests
Is the option

What worked for me was locking the spacing adjustments. When you're done tweaking, go to the "Utilities" menu, select "Lock Systems," and choose "Lock Spacing."
