Layout - Moving a system

Dorico
1

Another Finale transplant here!

I have three systems of music (piano + solo). They should fit on one page, but Dorico has two systems on the first page – with a lot of blank space below – then one system left over on a (needless) second page.

I’ve looked through videos and verbiage trying to figure out how to keep the systems on one page, or otherwise adjust settings to force or coax them together. (I just purchased the Pro version hoping there would be a way to grab and drag a system from one page to another there, but alas…)

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Engrave mode >select the first musical object. Press shift-F (insert a Frame break)
Select the Frame break signpost (make it visible in the View menu if you don’t see it!) and in the properties panel (bottom panel, cmd-8) enable the property “wait for next frame break”
Done.
