move bar line of a system first measure to left

I’m trying to move the right barline of the first measure in a system (which is a multi-measure rest) farther to the left, is there a simple way to do it?

This system begins with a multi-measure rest, I want to move its right bar line farther to the left. In Note Spacing it won’t move as far as I want it to when I click just its bar line square. When I have to choose a bunch of other notes and try to spread it out, it requires lots of shifting things around. How to do this properly?

The image attached shows the system. I want the 2-bar multi-measure rest right bar line to move farther to the left so that the qtr=48 no longer crosses over the margin.

Have you changed the settings in Engraving options—Rests—Multibar Rests—Spacing for the width of a multi bar rest? That could be an easier way to accomplish what you want. You could reduce both the minimum and maximum width values.
