Re: key and/or time signature at end of line

[Paul Scott]

I don't want to cancel it. I want it not to compress the music in the last measure of the line.

I haven't been able to find one of my examples or create a MWE.

Thank you,

Paul

When a time signature or key change happens at the beginning of a line it is repeated at the end of the previous line. This is good and normal.

The space needed for this is taken from the last  measure on that previous line often making that last measure very cramped . Is there a way to change this?

Of course
