Creating line (two measures) that only fills half of page

Hi,
I am interested in knowing if it is possible to create a line of music that only covers half of a page’s length as seen in the screenshot attached.

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at Library ->Layout Options->Note Spacing->Only justify final system in flow… Try increasing the 50% full

@jesele thank you so much for your reply! I tried your suggestion, but I realize that I was not specific enough. I want to start a new line of music after the line with only two measures (shown in new attachment).

There may be an easier way but:

One way might be to use write->split flow and set Layout Options to allow on existing page and Indent first system to 0. Or do it manually like Daniel suggest.

@DanielMuzMurray @jesele Thank you both for your answers. Manually moving the positions of the systems is certainly easier, but it is good to know how to start a new flow on an existing page.

Thanks so much!
