New Lines

2016-08-06 09:15 am

I am putting together several short folk tunes, on the same printed page or 3. At the end of each tune is:
<Insert><Boundary change><Force a new system>
to make a new line.
However the last line of this tune is now justified across the page.
Is there a way to turn this justification off?

(I've obviously turned off both:
<Page setup><Options><Extend last system>
<Page setup><Options><Justify print system vertically>
but to no avail)

There are probably more than one way to do this, but this method works for me: at the end of the staff you want to be non-justified, before the <Boundary change><Force a new system> command, add a <Boundary change><Gap the staff> command followed by a transparent bar line. You may have to tweak the size of the gap to get the right amount of padding.

I'm including a simple example.
