I want to include a rather long tempo instruction, but the measure that I want it to go with is at the end of the line, so there isn't enough room. I thought I would do a system break to move that last measure down to the next system. When I do that, though, it creates a really big space between the two systems -- much larger than the normal intersystem space. What is causing this? How can I get the last measure to just move down without altering the space between the two systems? (I'm using Sibelius 3.0 .) Thanks.

You might try experimenting with a different value for "Justify" in the Staves dialog of Engraving Rules. Default is 50% (a bit too hairy). 100% won't justify at all (systems will stay where you put them. Try various values in between.
