Logic Pro X Scoring question - pick-ups and 4 bar phrases

[Bolder]

I have a 12 bar blues I'd like to make a chart of (a score) - however there is a 3 note pick-up on the and of 2 which leads into the downbeat of measure 1 (with 3 8th notes as the pick-up). I still want 4 measures per line (since that is the flow of a basic phrasing as is customary).

So in the first line - I need 4.5 measures and the other 2 lines I need just 4 bars. If I set the maximum bars to 4 bars - I don't get what I'm looking for - If I set it to 5 bars, I still don't get what I need.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! - Dennis

You need to use the layout tool to move bars and override the maximum bass setting

Thank you! Just what i was looking for.

What is the orange Lock symbol in the left hand corner that appears after using the layout tool?

Thanks again - Dennis

I think it just means you have over-ridden the default.
