They lock your systems, and keep the measures from "flowing" from one system to the next, should you make changes in your score. In "Mass Mover", if you have a measure selected, you can "unlock the system" for the staff (staves) that you have measures selected. Select MassEdit | Unlock Systems. One way the systems locks can appear is if you use the up/down arrows to force a measure to appear in a previous/subsequent system. I believe, although I haven't tried, that setting all systems to have the same number of measures will enable the locks.
