Hi, I have set Dorico to shorten ledger lines on notes with accidentals. The issue is the accidental (a natural in this case) ends up touching the ledger line. How can avoid that?
Well, there is Engraving Options > Accidentals > Gaps >
But I had to increase that to well over a full space for it to make a difference here. Obviously not suitable as a global setting.
And there is the manual accidental X offset in Properties – too painstaking.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be concerned with accidentals touching leger lines any more than staff lines. As long as the leger line doesn’t extend into the counter, it doesn’t affect legibility.
