- Click the Selection tool
.
- Select the measures to be resized. You
only need to select the region in one staff; the measure widths will
be changed in all staves. See Selecting
music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
- Choose Edit > Edit Measure Attributes.
The Measure Attributes dialog box appears, letting you specify a fixed
width for all selected measures or to add or subtract a certain amount
from all selected measures. The units are whatever you’ve selected using
the Measurement Units command in the Edit menu.
- If you want to set the selected measures to
a uniform width, enter a value into the Width text box. If you
want to add or subtract the same amount of width in all the selected measures,
enter a positive number (to widen) or negative number (to narrow) in the
other text box.
- Click OK (or press ENTER).
Be sure to choose Update Layout from the Utilities menu (or press CTRL+U) before printing or viewing
in Page View.
