Hello - I have tried expanding the staff spacing in gallery view (multiple voices in staff are covering information in staff below). I have used the options (Cntrl + Shoft + L), selected from the right list the instruments I wish to adjust the staff spacing for, selected Vertical spacing from the menu on the left, scrolled down to “In Gallery view, expand ideal staff gaps to: …” I have tried 150% and 200% - the staff spacing in gallery view doesn’t change.
Could someone help and explain why I’m being such a nugget!!!
I know this seems a silly question, but are you sure you were adjusting the spacing for the same layout you are actively viewing? Or is it possible you have more than one layout and accidentally adjusted a different one than that which is actively on screen? I can adjust mine and it updates straight away. Did it yesterday with a score, in fact.
OK - so it works if I select the entire score and not just certain instruments or instrument groups - not sure if this is expected behaiour, but it works for me
In Layout Options, the list on the right represents different layouts, not instruments in the score. The spacing option applies to all staves in the selected layouts.
Is it possible to adjust only certain staves in Full score in galley view ideal gaps? If I set to 100%, it’s too less to fit all the chord diagrams. It I set it to 250% there’s too much space in certain staves.
No, AFAIK, staff spacing in Galley View is always the same for all staves. But it would be nice if you could drag complete staves up or down (i.e. for the whole flow), just for practical purposes during note input, and totally independent of the engraved spacing in Page View. Feature request?
Ok, thank you! I have switched from Finale and learning Dorico now. Dorico has great stuff that Finale didn’t have but Finale has some great stuff that Dorico doesn’t have (yet). I have already started to make request list As a music educator at school I’ve used lot galley view (scroll view in Finale) for music rehearsals and it’s great in that. And in Finale I can adjust staves vertically as I like in that view.
A very small thing, but if I were you, I would set a custom paragraph style for the piano graphics and apply a glyph stretch of 120%. It makes it much more readable and it doesn’t have to be as tall, so it takes up less vertical space as well. Just a suggestion.
