You can change the default note spacing in each layout independently. For example, you can have tighter note spacing in full score layouts compared to part layouts.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, choose Setup > Layout Options.

    The Layout Options dialog opens.

  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to change note spacing in one of the following ways:
    • Click Select All.

    • Click Select All Full Score Layouts.

    • Click Select All Part Layouts.

    • Click Select All Custom Score Layouts.

    • Ctrl/Cmd-click individual layouts.

    • Shift-click adjacent layouts.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog.

  3. Select Note Spacing from the Category menu.
  4. Change the values for the options you want to change in any of the following ways:
    • Enter values into the value fields.

    • Click the arrows beside the value fields.

  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The default note spacing is changed project-wide in the selected layouts.
