I'm not sure - I think this method might avoid the problem. An 85
evpu staff height equals an 88% reduction. I could try that. When I
get a chance to experiment, I'll report back. Communication with the
MM support person suggested that it was the staff percentage that
caused the problem.

Does it still happen if you use Staff Height instead of Scale System?

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.

Hey Chuck,
Just to eliminate the obvious -- you don't have "Space Systems
Evenly" checked by any chance?

There is a bug in the 2008 page format for parts dialog. If you
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.
