Empty bar generated at the end of first flow

Hi.

I have a 30 flow project (each flow is 1 page long)

At the end of first flow, an empty bar appears. I delete it, but it appears again when I check the day after. I’ve deleted it 20 times in the last 2 weeks.

Not a big deal cuz I can delete before printing, but a bit annoying

Is it a glitch?

Can you post that portion of your project?

Is it an extra measure or a separate flow?

Here you go.
Try this.

Firstly, I selected that bar using the System Track and pressed Delete.
Secondly, I selected that bar again using the System Track and clicked on the Trash can icon in the System Track.
Then I saved the file.

Ok. I recreated what you wrote above and it worked.

It’s like there was an invisible object in my measure or what?

I don’t know, but when I selected one of the notes of the chord in bar 26 and pressed right arrow, the status bar showed Rest (Up-stem Voice 1).

Using the System Track to select the contents of a bar selects everything in that bar, even hidden objects. Because explicit barlines, such as the double barline that was at the end of bar 26, contain a hidden time signature, that might have been the cause of the bar refusing to stay deleted. Using the System Track would have selected that time signature and deleted it.
