Using system breaks with independent time signatures

Hi!

I’m having some trouble formatting this piece i’m working on here. Its written for three instruments which all independent time signatures. The picture above is a part layout where two of the instruments share the same time signatures for a bit.

For some reason Dorico is refusing to treat the bars as it would regularly and instead split them across staves, making reading the score inconvenient.

I’ve tried to do things such as moving bar 25 onto the second stave, however it just ends up dragging along the last quaver of bar 24.

Maybe the answer is obvious but if anyone has a workaround please let me know!

Not sure if it helps, but do you have this preference set?

I set it and it seemed to resolve most issues, but there are still some bars it doesn’t let me move properly.
