Sorry, still trouble, I'm back, need a little hand-holding I guess.
I'm on 2000c (Mac). What you're suggesting makes sense: I should Lock all
systems, then Unlock the one I want to break, then break it!
So, I go to MM, select All, Lock Systems, then select just the one and Unlock
it. (Meanwhile, Options/Update Layout Options/Reflow Measures is set to "Reflow
across system (Remove Fit Music groupings)". Thinking all is well at last, I go to
Meas.tool, dbl.click the measure which should start the new system, and: ALL "Fit
Music" groups have been removed, IOW the system "locks" have done nothing that I
can see.
I imagine the remaining mystery has to do with locking/unlocking systems. I
tried to RTFM, and I find nothing in the index under "Systems, to lock.." or
nothing under "Locking..."
TIA for more help...
