Strange result from pasting

I have copied bars 5-27 and am trying to paste it into bars 28-30. Why does pasting the passage disrupt the line breaks?

Related question: is there an existing key command (in write mode) for system break or do I have to create one?

Given new material, Dorico tries to optimize the spacing. If all your lines will be the same number of measures, you can set Casting Off to 3 measures per system, or you can use SHIFT + S in Engrave mode to force a new system.

Casting off? Sounds fishy … :grinning:
I assume you mean this.

I’ll check it out.
Thanks!

I think it would be polite to give the solution to Derrek.

This is one of many reasons why it is often better to enter music in Galley mode.
