I'm trying to set SATB4 a piece of 60 measures, 10 systems.
I have been unable to get it to produce pages of three systems
per page; it always does 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1 systems per page.
I have not used the '@' or other spacing rule.  Any ideas on
how it's doing this?  Transcript suggests that pmxab is setting
the page breaks.  I had tried %%LxxPx, and found that additiona
page breaks were introduced so I went back to plain %%Lxx.
I have Systems: 10 and Pages: 4; even so it still produces six
pages.

Also, the first 2 pages / 4 systems are set perfectly, while the
remaining 6 systems are much too wide, and the second system in
a page is too far down, off the bottom.

I'm grateful for any assistance!  Thanks.

PMX (to which M-Tx is a preprocessor) can be frustrating in this regard --- it has its own ideas of what is esthetically pleasing (by that I mean the program, not its author -- just so Don Simons doesn't get it wrong ...).

There are several ways to deal with your problem; but they are a bit complicated to explain in general (cf., however, my PMX tutorial
   http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmxccn.pdf         )
                                           )
If you send me your source file (possibly privately), I can probably help you better.
