(Finale 2002)
I have been experiencing odd spacing between notes that, so far,
appears to affect a single quaver (eighth note) tied to another note
with stems up. These notes, using “note spacing”, are too far apart.
I attempted to correct this by changing the “minimum distance between
notes with ties” to be the same as the “minimum distance between
items”. This has created another spacing problem: quavers joined by a
beam are further apart than the groups of beamed quavers (q___qq___q).
I realise I can, as a last resort, fix the spacing once the parts have
been extracted, although they will probably look okay, but it is the
score that looks clumsy. Any suggestions for a more
professional-looking score will be gratefully received.
It's not entirely clear to me what result you want. If you require the
tied pairs to be farther apart and you also want every pair to be
equally space, then the only answer is to have all the pairs further
apart. This can be achieved by anything that stretches out the layout.
Another possibility: If you're unhappy with ties between notes spaced
too closely, it may be that you're using inner placement and don't want
to. Try Options > Document Options > Tie Options, and make sure that
the box labeled "Use Outer Placement" is checked.

me, and I think I messed it up the first time.]
