Hi. I kept a leader around for a while to finish off a wonder quickly (that is one of their jobs I am told). As soon as I got music theory I started JS Bach in one of my smaller, interior cities (so it's harder to steal). When I brought my leader there, it would not let me complete. It simply says 'JS Bach Cannot Be Hurried'. I can't find anything about this in the documentation. Thoughts?
Leader Can't Finish JS Bach?

did you go into the city and rush cause that can't work.
Click on the leader on the action bar there will be choices of make an army or rush improvement.

As cegman said:
"did you go into the city and rush cause that can't work. "
Example: you started that small city working on a marketplace.
Then you chopped down a forest or disbanded a unit, getting shields to rush the marketplace.
Then you get a leader and move it to that city.
You switch from marketplace to the wonder.
At that point you can NOT use the leader to hurry the wonder because you used rushing at some previous point in that process.
You could first rush and finish the marketplace. Then use the leader. BUT you can not rush a normal build then switch to a wonder (or palace or FP).

To my knowledge nothing was rushed before this. The previous improvement had about 7 shields total. I used the hurry command ON THE LEADER. I've tried the leader in two different cities, though the other one may very well have been rushed previously by an automated worker cutting down forests.

are you sure you had a leader and not an "army" you have created?
if this is not the case, sorry for the insult. Another option would be to make sure you have the 1.17 patch. I have rushed JS Bachs but it has always been post patch.

There are several possibilities: First be sure you are using the leader from the map screen, not the city screen. On the map screen, there are two extra buttons, hurry improvement, create army. From your first post is sounds like you are inside the city screen and getting the message that it can not be hurried by pop rushing or overtime money.
Second, wonders can not be sped up with forest cuts, unit disbands or pop rushing or overtime money. If any of the current shields in the box are from these sources, wonders can not be produced until those shields are purged by completing a project (a worker or a small building is one quick way to purge the shields).

I'm not the most experienced player, but it sounds like the problem is HOW you are trying to rush the wonder. Don't rush the wonder from your city screen - it won't work.
Move your leader into the city square, then look at his "order" options at the bootom of the screen. In addition to the usual icons, there will be a new one for "Build wonder". Click that icon and voila - J.S. will be playing his butt off in a brand new cathederal.
