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 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.
