Guest Alex Chapman Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi Pat, We don't yet have a way to adjust staff spacing, but it is a planned feature. Currently staff spacing is proportional to staff size. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbie-liever Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I found a way. I right click in a blank area of a staff (this works with a new staff as well as one where notes and words are already entered). A menu pops up. Select Spacing. The default is 0.94 inches. I reduced it to .5 inches on one project, and .8 on another. Works great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiegirl Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The above solution worked fine in the previous edition. Why won't it work in this one? I asked this question about four weeks ago and have not received a reply. I have purchased the new edition but am still using the old one for this reason.

Hi, this might be of help: Go to Score > Settings You should then be able to adjust system height, staff height, and system spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela S Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The staff spacing seems to be in a fixed proportion to the staff height. So staff spacing is limited to what staff height is set to. I need to keep my staff height and shrink the space between each staff. This is terribly annoying. I am trying to transcribe music for a vision challenge. Is there any way I can get the older version of the software mentioned by others in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela S Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Which version allowed you to right click in a space and change the staff spacing? This thread seems to be from 6-7 years ago, and STILL this "planned feature" has not been added to the current version. Is it ever going to happen? I have a child with visual processing challenges that I am trying to make sheet music accessible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alto 12 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I am trying out the free version for church music. I have been able to right click on a staff, choose Spacing, and vary the space between staffs, but it changes ALL the spacings between ALL the staffs to the same value. There are many songs with multiple verses and one refrain. It would be lovely if I could vary the spacing between the staffs, to accommodate the multiple verses without wasting a lot of space. Is there a way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
