System Breaks

System breaks occur when musical material reaches the right page margin and must continue on a new system, usually below the previous system on the same page or on a new page. Cubase automatically arranges music across systems so that notes are properly spaced and legible, but you can also control system breaks manually.

In Page View, you can input system breaks manually by selecting a note and selecting Score > System Break. System breaks are shown with signposts. System breaks are layout-specific.
