Sorry to bang on, but this is a bloody nightmare! If this isn't critical I
don't know what is.

See attached.

I can only describe this as like nailing jelly to a wall.

It's wrecked a load of my scores, and I've taken hours more time getting
what was pretty good in 2.13.40 back to a 'still a bit rubbish' in 2.13.51.

\noBreak does little or nothing and trying to expand the MMR does
virtually nothing until I use ridiculous numbers and then it just springs
the two bars on a line on their own.
