You are here: How do I... > M > Measures > Adjusting measure widths in a system

It’s useful to remember that you can adjust the relative widths of the measures in any particular system.

To adjust measure widths in a system

  1. Go to Page View, if you’re not already there. You change views by choosing View > Page View.
  2. Choose Utilities > Update Layout.
  3. Click the Measure tool . A handle appears on every barline.
  4. Drag the handle of any measure to the right or left. As you make one measure wider, the one to its right becomes narrower. (You can adjust all measures in a system except the last one with this method.)
