Moving and spacing several staves

If you have a number of staves that you want displayed with an equal distance (for example, all strings of a grand staff in a full orchestra score), this can be done using the Position Info window:

Procedure

  1. Open the Preferences (Scores–Editing page) and deactivate the “Global staff Spacing with Alt-Ctrl/Cmd” option.
  2. In the score, select the staves you want to set to an equal distance.
  3. Open the Position Info window by clicking on the ruler.
  4. Use the To Previous Staff or To Next Staff settings to specify the desired distance between the staves.

    All selected staves are spaced according to your settings.

    If you do this when the “Global staff Spacing with Alt-Ctrl/Cmd” option is activated, all staves in the score are affected.
