Distances
You can set almost every aspect of your
music’s appearance; here are a few distances and measurements you can
change easily.
To change the distance between staff systems
See Systems.
To
change the distance between staves
- Click
the Staff tool
.
- Drag
any staff up or down to move the staff vertically. You can drag
more than one staff at a time if you choose several at once (by shift-clicking
or by drag-enclosing their handles, so that they’re highlighted). If you
have many staves, you can move all except one or two as follows: Choose Select All from the Edit menu to
highlight all of the staves’ handles. Then shift-click the staves
you don’t want to move; when any staff is selected, a shift-click “deselects”
it. Then, as before, drag any selected staff to move all selected staves
at once.
To
change the distance between notes
You can drag individual notes horizontally
in one staff (see Note
positioning).
To change the page and system margins
See Margins; Systems.
