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

  1. Click the Staff tool  image\Staff_Tool.gif.
  2. 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 Edit > Select All 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 page and system margins

See Margins;  Systems.
