You have to do a new music spacing: in db Documents Options 'Music Spacing' choose 'Manual Positioning': 'Clear' That should do it. Greetings Raimund Lintzen dc schrieb: In files I'm revising, I'm finding notes that aren't properly spaced, and respacing the music them does not correct the

Hi Dennis, I also stumbled over this phenomenon several times. In my case, explicitly loading a spacing table with File/Load Library (e.g. Fibonacci spacing) followed by respacing of the score always solved the problem. Martin Am 21.02.2010 10:48, schrieb dc: In files I'm revising, I'm

If I remember rightly, I just did a copy and paste. I had already set up the correct time signatures in the new file. If you import one of the measures such as you posted into a standard default file with copy/paste, is the spacing problem still there? Michael On 21 Feb 2010, at 16:31, dc

Yes, generally copy and insert is preferable. But in this case I specifically wanted to get rid of the spacing anomalies in the original document. I don't know if pasting instead of inserting was what made the essential difference, but in any case I got the result I wanted: the new

Something that sometimes works for me: 1. Select the offending measures. 2. Apply time signature spacing. 3. Respace the measures. Apparently, at least in older versions of Finale, time signature spacing was the equivalent of no spacing applied. Haven't had to do this for a while, so I don't
