Is there a way to move bars between systems in just one part? Engrave mode shows all the parts, so I can’t change anything in just one. This was so easy in Finale.
Okay, I figured that out. But how do I force measures into a system?
Got it. Thanks so much. It’s kind of counterintuitive, but it works.
I added that you can select something and create a system break (like new line). Same menu, or Shift-S in Engrave mode. Shift-F for Frame break. (like new page)

Okay, now a new problem arises. I want to move one bar to the previous page, but I can’t select items in that bar along with items in the system I want to move it to without selecting items in many other bars.
Yes, it worked. Thanks.
Coming from Finale you could mistake counterintuitive with unfamiliar ![]()
And please consider that Dorico provides much more powerful layout options than just movings things around like in Finale.
Just two specific items will do: one in the bar that you want to be the start of the system (or indeed frame / page), and one in the bar at the end. You can Ctrl/Cmd-click just those items, for example. The material inbetween doesn’t need to be selected.
