Inserting system breaks

You can insert system breaks at any rhythmic position.

Procedure

  1. Select a note or item at the rhythmic position where you want to insert a system break.

    For example, if you select a clef, the clef is placed at the end of the system, and the notes are moved to the start of the next system.

  2. Insert a system break in any of the following ways:

    • Press Shift-S.

    • Choose Engrave > Format Systems > System Break.

    • Click Insert System Break in the Format Systems section of the Formatting panel.

Result

A system break is inserted immediately before the rhythmic position of the earliest selected item. All notations after the system break are moved to the next system.
