Deleting Blank Measures

[konradh]

My lead sheet has about 12 blank measures at the end of the song. They don't hurt anything, but having all this blank space doesn't look professional. The Help says to select the measures and then hit the Delete key, or go to Edit / Cut. Neither of those techniques removes the blank measures.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Figured it out. Click the Meausre tool, select one measure at a time by clicking its handle, and then press delete.

The Delete key will work if you select all the staves vertically, the so-call "stack."

If it’s a lead sheet, he probably doesn’t have measure stacks.

Delete should have worked, then. You want the Delete key below Insert on the keyboard, not Del in the keypad. If it's a laptop, then who knows.
