Description
Your idea
It would be great if there were a possibility to start a new section (with a section-break), but in the same system.
Problem to be solved
If a sections end with a single bar in a new system, the new section is starting below this bar. That creates a big useless empty space.

Research direction
Start with the issue screenshots and compare the current section layout with the requested section-break behavior in MuseScore. No source files, tests, or entry points are identified, so first locate the code responsible for sections and systems; done means a new section can begin in the same system without the large empty space shown.
