Hi Darcy,
No, that's not the issue. And it's just crazy. On a big band chart
I am now working on, some parts have the defined distance (240
evpus), and others have 88 evpus, or 36 evpus. Makes no sense to me,
and MM support could only relate it to the fact that there is a staff
reduction selected in the Page Format for Parts dialog. That seems
to be the element that causes the problem.
I think its a bug, and MM support seems to acknowledge that. Whether
anything gets done about it remains to be seen. I am finding it
increasingly difficult to retain my former optimism about such matters.
I'd be curious to know if anyone else encounters this. It is
consistently inconsistent for me - the hardest kind of thing to pin
down.

Just to eliminate the obvious -- you don't have "Space Systems

define a staff reduction (I use 88%) and then set a distance
between staves for parts, each part in succession has that
distance further reduced. The placement for the top staff remains
correct. Only the between staff distance is irrationally
changed. This is an annoyance rather than a work stopper, because
the distances can be re-set once the parts are opened. Still,
it's a bug, and I don't understand what has been introduced in
2008 that might have created this new and annoying behavior. I
don't remember encountering it in 2007.
MM support has acknowledged seeing this in files I have sent
them. What I have yet to determine is whether or not this appears
in documents created wholly in 2008. At the moment, I only know
that I have seen it in documents converted from files created in
earlier versions.
