Music spacing at page turns
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2020 7:56 pm
I often have the situation where I want to put a page turn after a multimeasure rests, but the rest doesn't lie at the end of the system. So I push the notes following the rest onto the next page and with default spacing wind up with something like this:
As you can see above, the two measures beginning the last system are very wide and look silly. So I have to correct this manually:
JW Space Empty Measures/Redistribute non-rest measures helps--I widen the multimeasure rest and then run the plug-in, which will respace but leave the multimeasure rest alone. But there is still trial and error involved.
What I would like is a way to make the measures with music their ideal width according to the music spacing options I've defined, and then expand the multimeasure rest to take up the remaining space. Surely others are faced with this situation--what do you do?
(I am grateful for the JW plug-in, which I recall he added at my suggestion. Before that, it was really a hassle to get it looking right).
