adjusting the bottom system

[JohnJSherry]

I'm able to move the top system down, (hold down alt and drag), but when I want to move the bottom system up, it drags a system from the next page underneath. How can I adjust that bottom system up independently of the systems on the following page?

Thanks

It moves the system from the next page up because you've now made room for it to fit. When that happens, put a page break on the unwelcome system (right-click on it in the Page Layout tool) to move it back to the next page.

Thanks, that worked great to put the system back on the other page, but now I can't adjust the system that I moved up. When I hold alt and drag, it just keeps popping back to near the middle of the page.

You probably enlarged the bottom system margin or top system margin by mistake. Look at the dotted lines above and below the staff in the Page Layout tool.

Got it! Thanks!
