Hi there!
I'm having a problem with a score that I never had before. I'm trying to move a measure from one page to another using "Make Into System" button, as I always do, but this is what happens:

Select the bar with the clefs and use the inspector to change the "Gap Before Bar" value to 0. This often happens if barlines have been dragged.
Why not just select the final barline for the page and press [return]?

Thanks for the help, it worked!
What do you mean by pressing [return]? It does not happen what I need.

If you select the barline before the break and press the large [return] key on the keyboard it will inset a system break.
If you press it with [ctrl/cmd] it will create a page break.

Ah, yes. I know what you mean, but the idea was to move a bar to the previous page, not to make any breaks.
Thanks.
