Seconds' default spacing oddity that is probably correct

SATB score. Because tenor has theoretical invisible stem pointing down, the seconds get spaced oddly compared to other staves. I know that it is according some spacing rules of Dorico but the visual result like this does not look good or logical spacing-wise. Of course this was corrected by force [F]lipping the direction in write mode and everything was spaced logically.

Maybe, quite possibly, I have overlooked or am not aware of some setting that automatically fixes issues like this. If so, please point that out to me.

I think there was a similar thread last year.

The conclusion was that having different spacing was “traditional”, and aligning them all was more “modern” practice.

I did search for seconds spacing but then again I have searched probably for “spacing” and not “alignment”. Sorry for polluting, thanks for your answer.

Here we go.

Yes! There I went!
Thank you @benwiggy for the link. That was educational, learnt something today. Many examples from different books and practices. I also understand why I did not find the thread with search, because I always do the search first here.

I search from the “main page” of the Dorico forum. Make sure you add the dorico tag, otherwise you get cubase etc. In this case, I tried “seconds alignment”, and it was in the first few results.

Indeed. Because English is obviously not my first tongue I did search “spacing” and indeed the alignment would have been the correct word.
Hopefully I did not do a lot of damage besides polluting the universe a bit.

as a non English speaker one has heard about the second amendment…

Please don’t associate English with the 2nd Amendment. That the US Constitution hijacked our language is just an accident of history.
