end of line being cut off when printing (using boxmarks font)

I'm working on a percussion part, so I'm using lots of multiple measure rests. I do that using boxmark2 font and setting the text property to preserve spacing. I noticed that when printing, it's sometimes cutting off part of the line at the end (not allowing enough space for the "text" I'm assuming) even though it looks ok in editing (it appears in print preview too)

Here's a sample of what I'm seeing. I'm using a staff size of 22 with user font 1 set to boxmark2, 22pt, bold

This is caused by the fact that none of your simulated multi-measures have any real durations in them. NWC uses note duration as a basis for system breaks. If you simply add a hidden rest in one or more of the multi-measure spaces, these regions will get better handling in the print formatter.

I'll give that a try; thanks!

I don't remember having to do that in NWC1 though.

Tim, try this for multibar rests.  The userfont is Boxmark2, if I recall:

NWC1 is substantially the same, although hidden notes will occupy more space in version 1.
