General Discussion / measures per printed line: aka, page set-up?
I'm sorry if this is addressed elsewhere, but I've looked in all the files I can.

I'm using SATB voicing on a piece that is only 20 measures long -- I entered all the notes, barlines, lyrics, etc, expecting to have a "page setup" command for choosing how many measures per printed line I'd want.  No go.

So now I'm tasked with trying to get the page to look right, instead of running off the end.  The phrases break very well at the 5-bar mark. HELP?  How do I do it?  How do I maintain my SATB voicing and add systems to my page, without having the "New Staff" being attached to my bass line of the previous system?

I tried copying and pasting at the 5th measure of the soprano voicing to force a new system, but no go.

I tried just adding a New Staff from end and then "unlayering" -- but that fouled up the system above.

am I truly the only person with this problem?  I'd be happy to attach the file, but I don't see how to attach it here. 

I'm usually quite savvy at this sort of thing, and right now I'm pretty bummed.  I have choir practice tomorrow night and I wanted to bring this for my group.

PS -- if this gets solved, does anyone know how to make the reciting tones, as in Anglican Chant, work for noteworthy?  I've been forcing eighth notes for the syllables, and it's worked, but it's just so busy. 


thanks for the help.
