Did you try a custom spacing ratio of 2?
Jesper
thanks, that’s actually the current setting
What happens if you put some hidden long notes (like the other parts) in another voice in the harp?
Jesper
So, that’s what I’m testing it with. As in, I have a hidden long note (just as above in the other parts) in the treble clef in the harp, but the moment I try the same thing in the bass clef, in the same position or elsewhere, the justification happens.
Hm, could you share a page or two. Not sure if I can help anyway, though.
Jesper
I think I have a reply limit as a first time poster (I was blocked out the other day 
) but it’s basically the same two images I shared above, but with less bars and a different notehead)
I think a Dorico file is needed to see if there is anything strange going on. You can PM me by clicking my avatar->Message if you prefer.
Jesper
really sorry…I am not finding how to PM you for some reason…am not finding the message function
If you click jesele? Maybe that’s also because you’re new.
Jesper
Or if you post the file here, I’ll delete it once downloaded.
Jesper
It takes me to your status page and shows me how helpful you are in the community! But I can’t find how to message
hm. Yes it doesn’t look like that for me yet. I think I need to prove myself first The Dorico file is unfortunately too large for me to upload here…
Dropbox link or similar. You can also decrease the size by applying the silence playback template under the Play menu and save.
Jesper
I’ll try to write a PM to you. Let’s see if you can respond.

For the community on the topic: Jesper was a huge help. The formatting issue seems to be regarding the starts voice/ends voice function. So Jesper suggests hiding notes for spacing (since there is not a straight forward way to hide rhythms). I just wanted to share that! Thank you!
