Description
Your idea
Currently, this dialog only controls the number of measures per system (as the name implies). A more useful and efficient tool would be one similar to Sibelius' "Make Layout Uniform" tool, which allows the user to control:
-number of measures per system
-number of systems per page
-whether or not to include the pickup measure in the measure count
Problem to be solved
A more complete tool would allow for better efficiency. I often use this as a "preliminary" layout step and then make adjustments from there.
Prior art
This is Sibelius' dialog

Research direction
The issue names the existing “Measures per system” dialog but no files or tests. Start by locating that dialog and tracing how it applies measure and page layout. Done means the tool supports measures per system, systems per page, and an option for whether the pickup measure counts.
