I did see the older post on this issue, and it hasn't fixed my problem.

I've been using "fit measures" to adjust the number of measures per line. This has caused measures to flow to a new page. Fine by me, however, previously, Songwriter made the last two measures of the tune very scrunched up (taking up about 1/2 the line). When the third page was added, all the overflow ended up in two scrunched up measures per line. I didn't have those measures locked. I've since locked into 3 measures per line to see if it would change anything, but it didn't. They remain as two scrunched up measures per line, creating 6 more lines. How can I get these measures to stretch out? Hope this makes sense. It's very frustrating.

Thanks in advance![/b]

Can you post the file? (You have to ZIP it to upload to the forum.) Also, what version of SongWriter are you using?

Hi Miker,
Honestly, I feel a little strange about uploading my song. Is this absolutely necessary? I'm running SW 2010 on an Intel Mac OS10.6.5
Thanks!
