I'm entering some songs in 9/8 time (Irish Slip Jigs) and have a layout question.

Let's say it's an 8-bar section, so 2 lines. And 9/8 time, so I make 3 spaces in each measure. To get them to align well, I add space at the end of each line.

I seem to always wind up with a right-hand bar mark at the end of the first line, after the added spaces. I've tried different ways of entering the space, or the first bar of the second line, but it always seems to happen. Not a big issue, and the player seems to ignore play correctly, but wondered if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks....Lyle
