Yes, naturally, I discovered this, but it does mean doing spacing at a point in the process that I would normally not do it (during entry). My process is generally: 1. enter all the notes in all the parts, no spacing (unless necessary in particular passages for legibility while entering, and that spacing is only temporary). 2. select all and space the whole file. 3. go through the score again putting in expressions, articulations, slurs and smart shape dynamics. Space as necessary. Doing that won't work, so I have to remove the chord notes in the proofreading stage, after step 3), respace and add back the notes. It's extremely annoying. Fortunately, I use layer 2 very little, so it's very easy for me to find these visually. -- David W.
