Re: break in measure

[Helge Kruse]

Joe,

ragged-last-bottom did it. I ignored it before, since it is described in 
"Fitting music onto fewer pages" what is the opposit to my wishes. All other 
tweaks from "Horizontal Spacing" did not give any satisfying result.

But finally it looks ok.

Thank you, Helge
