To remove system locks through the end of the piece

This process will restore all measures to “floating” status—in other words, their system affiliation may change as the page layout changes.

Choose Edit > Update Layout. If Maintain System Locks is selected in Preferences-Edit, press shift while selecting Update Layout, or deselect this option. SHIFT-Update Layout works exactly like the normal Update Layout command in one respect: it only affects the pages of your piece from the page you’re viewing to the last page. If you’ve carefully locked measures into systems on the first page, for example, you won’t disturb them if you perform a shift–Update Layout command while viewing page 2. See Preferences-Edit.
