Hi everyone:
I am trying to do two things:
I want to keep the current size of my staffs/staves.
BUT I want to decrease the distance between them, in the hope of
getting three systems per page versus the two I have now.
You can change the spacing between staves a couple of ways:
graphically, in page view, select the staff tool, and at the left of
each at the left of each staff, on the top staff line is one handle (if
you have not optimized sytesm) or two (if you have optimized).
Selecting the handle (the top one, if stavex are optimized) allows you
to move the staff up or down, as you find necessary. If there are two
handles the lower selects only the current staff.
If you want more precise control, select the staff tool, and from the
staff drop-down menu, select "staff usage." This is not well-named,
IMO; the staff useage dialog allows you to specify the offset from the
top of the system of each staff. If you have optimized systems, and
select the lower handle before accessing the drop-down menu, it works
the same way, but is limited to the present system.
