The “System Break” sign is in the way of some notes on the staff. Can the sign be moved? Please note: I don’t want to eliminate the system break, I only want to move the sign so I can see and work with the notes that the sign is covering up.

You cannot move the signpost, but you can temporarily hide it via View > Signposts > Hide Signposts.
Perfect! Thanks.
Well, actually you can move the signpost along the current rhythmic grid using alt← and alt→, but only in Write Mode.
(FR:) I’d love to be able to do this in Engrave Mode too.
You can also hold down a key for “Hide Invisibles”, which hides signposts, frame edges etc for as long as you press the key - like an instant print preview.
On macOS at least, that’s the tilde ~ key to the left of Z in a desktop keyboard.
Shift-Alt-clicks also cycle the selection around overlapping items.
Yes, but that also moves the point at which the signpost takes effect (changes where in the music the system break is). The OP just wanted to get it out of the way visually.

Yeah, reading back, the OP only wanted to peek behind the signpost, not to move the System Break somewhere else entirely.
Which is possible after all, but not relevant here. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Everyone - just looking at all these helpful posts makes me glad to have so many great people on this forum. Hopefully, one day I’ll get to the point where I’m helping others rather than always asking for help!
