I’m a beginner at notating and can’t figure out how to extend the last system, set of 4 bars, in this 12 bar blues. I want this last system to stretch across the whole page like the first two systems. I’m using Dorico Pro 3.5 and did a few searches but have not figured it out. Thank you for any help!
Hello @RWG4 this is called “horizontal justification” in Dorico, the last system doesn’t have to fill the width of the page - this is sometimes useful, sometimes not desired. You can change the threshold above which Dorico justifies the last system in flows, or tell Dorico to justify it always, here.
Quite a few people find themselves looking for this, so I have tried to stuff that topic full of relevant keywords and variations of searches, like “stretch”, “bars fill page” etc, but I’ll check whether some of the terms you used in your first post are there as well tomorrow.
Any chance you could post the instructions to justify the final system here? I can never load the steinberg and dorico help pages on my work computer. (I’ve tried but there seems to be no fix.) Nevermind!—found the answer elsewhere.
Hi @relussier , what happens, on your work computer, if you click on this link to the manual (this is for Dorico Pro 5, but you can comfortably switch to your version)?
You can also download a PDF version of the Manual.
