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. Choose the Staff tool .
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 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.
