Big Band chart - Print get parts scrunched up?

Hi everyone. I hope this hasn’t been covered already. I grabbed a big band template off of youtube, and it seem to work OK, but when I go to print the individual parts are jumbled. I did some research and verified that I dont have any system breaks or the like, but I don’t know how to solve this.

Help?

Thanks in avane!

Can you share the file? Are you sure there’s no break? Do you have View->Signposts shown?

Welcome to the forum.

I doubt that.

Also it looks like you have some messed up fonts and page templates.

Upload the file and someone will sort things out for you.

Make sure View / Signposts / System Breaks is checked so they are visible:

You almost certainly have one at the beginning with the Wait for next system break property checked. This property is only visible in Engrave mode.

With that property checked, Dorico is waiting for you to put in another break. As there isn’t one, everything gets crammed on to one system:

A common cause of this is deleting a system break further down the line, without realizing the previous one has that Wait for setting checked. Gif below:

Just uncheck that Wait for setting and things will go back to their usual spacing.
