FR: Paragraph style includes option for ideal/minimum distance from staff

As it says. This would be a nice addition. I want some text elements to sit closer to the staff than the project defaults.

PS: it would also be amazing to be able to specify in advance a vertical/horizontal offset for a given paragraph style. Perhaps that’s the better solution, just thinking out loud.

And
– absolute distances as an option, like in Sibelius
– shown in grey like in Sibelius with the music
larger input fields, it is hard to read “longer” values

(this value is 12 43/100)

I ran into this today, too and came to the conclusion that it would be nice if we could set this on a case-by-case basis for paragraph styles.

My default value for normal text doesn’t look at all correct for one style that calls for a box surround. It would be awesome if I could set some sort of compensation property to account for the bounding box (or if the boundary of the box was honored by the default distance engraving value).
