I found the source of the problem: It wasn't the measure length, it was a problem with forced beams:
I wrote: g4 [ < g h,>8 < g h,>8] g4 [ < g h,>8 < g h,>8] in a 4/4 instead of: c4 < g h,>8 [ < g h,>8] g4 < g h,>8 [ < g h,>8] But this syntax error occurred several measures before the measure I suspected to cause the problem. Nevertheless, I learned much about trouble-shooting!
