Page change produces chaos

Hi everyone, I changed the size of the page (Bach format to A4) in an existing piece, and I have chaos on some pages. I have already removed all system & pagebreaks. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Try to show the Signposts[1]. You’ll probably see a System or Frame Break at the beginning of the system. Select it in Engrave Mode, and in the properties panel, turn off “Wait for next system break”.

Edit: sorry, you said you removed all System and Frame Breaks?


  1. In Dorico 6:

    or View Menu > Signposts, untick Hide Signposts

Thanks for your time, everyone. It was a locked system that caused the problem.

Hello, good that you solved the problem.
In case, someone else visits this thread, what do you mean with “locked system”?
In your opening question you have

How can there still be a locked system?
And how did you solve it at the end?

The procedure was finally very easy:

J (for jumpbar) - reset layout -enter

Sorry to harp on about it but all that the Reset Layout function does is remove any system/frame breaks.

I’m only mentioning this because you originally posted that this had already been done.

What was your process of removing them? Something went awry.
