Moving multiple systems equally

You can move multiple systems at the same time so that the gaps between each system remain equal. This is also known as concertina dragging.

Note

You can only move multiple systems closer together, you cannot use this method to make them further apart.

Procedure

  1. In the Formatting panel, activate Staff Spacing.
  2. Select the system handle on the system below which you want to move systems closer together.
  3. Alt-click and drag the system handle downwards.

Result

All systems below the selected system, until the bottom of the music frame, are moved closer together. The gaps between each system remain equal.
