Music Spirit Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I have never fully understood the principle of adjusting the distance between the staves ( Blue Arrow) ..and the distance between each set of staves ( Red Arrow) and the distance from the bottom set of staves and the bottom of the page ( Green Arrow) .. all in relation to the Staff Styles (Light Blue Box)... Having always just experimented dragging the numbers or the stave themselves around - until they fit - but not really knowing what I am doing .. But as Charlier Parker once said of the Score Editor 'Now's the Time' 😬 I would much appreciate if anyone can offer a definitive step by step explanation .. ? ideally a video 🙂 @volovicg @ski & other Score Specialists 🙏 Edited January 15 by Music Spirit Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ski Posted January 15 Solution Share Posted January 15 (edited) Hey MS! Long time! 1) In your example you show a value of 50 for both the treble and bass staves in the grand staff. Those parameters adjust the distance between the staves, and my feeling is that they're redundant. If you need to increase or decrease distance between treble and bass staves, simply make a choice to adjust one of those values. There's no point in adjusting both. So, make a choice (flip a coin) to adjust the value of 50 for the bass staff. Leave the treble staff at 50. 2) Adjusting spacing above the treble (94) and below the bass (60). Scenario: I'm using the same Piano staff style for the entire first page of a piece. I'll start by adjusting the space above the treble so that the first system (the first line) of the piece looks good in relation to the title text. Now, any adjustment (-/+) you make to that value will consequently affect the spacing between systems. So if necessary, adjust the space below the bass (-/+) to get good spacing between systems. HTH!

Music Spirit Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Very great answer - typical Ski clarity and depth thank you! It was the point about adjusting both that had me befuddled... so where can I find a coin to flip? 😉 🙏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
