Cannot modify system

Hi all! I have a cadenza bar with no divisions and a few of the last notes of the cadenza have been placed on their own system. I cannot get them to move. How might I fix this?

Bonus question! I would like to add a slur/tie that is unattached to a second note (in other words the tie attaches to the first note but ties to nothing). That note is the last note of the viola line in the first system. How might I do this?

Thank you so much!

You can force everything between the two System Breaks to be on one system by selecting the first Break and setting “Wait for next System Break” in the Properties panel.

However, you’re likely to find that everything is going to be too squashed together. Realistically, you need a smaller staff size for the page. (Do you really need the abbreviated staves?)

Slurs and ties are two different things! But I’m guessing you mean a “laissez vibrer” tie? Again, there’s a property for that when you select the note.

Both pieces of feedback worked perfectly! Thank you!
