See attached screenshot. I like the RM’s to be quite tight to the staff wherever possible, but apparently (sadly) the G#'s in the key signature do not count as “other items” for this setting.
No, Dorico doesn’t perform collision avoidance for anything in the preamble, i.e. in the fixed clef/key sig/time sig area at the left of each system.
Thanks for replying, Daniel. Is this likely to change in the future, or should I just accept a bit of manual repositioning? It’s hardly a big deal of course.
It’s not likely to change in the near future, certainly.
