Key signature size in staff

Hello, I find my key signature is too wide in the score, can I make it smaller ?

There are gap settings you can adjust in Engraving Options > Key Signatures. Although it also looks like those sharps are pretty wide characters.

It may be a quality of the font. If you change the font to something else, and the numbers fit in the staff, then it’s the font.

:joy: I’ve also mistakenly read “time signature”

Ah. Yes. Sorry.

The spacing of the sharps will also be a factor of the font, as well as the Engraving Options.

This is the best I could do, by narrowing the sharps,

And I don’t want to change the fonts (Petaluma) because I like the rehearsal marks this way

And now with the engraving options, I put the space between sharps to 0

Much better, thanks !

You can set Rehearsal Marks separately from the Music Font.
