Uneven note spacing

Thanks!

Attached file gives another exemple of uneven and unsatisfying note spacing, due to a mixture of notes with and without ledger lines. Here bar 5 and 6 should be logically Made into System. The result is bar 5 clearly cramped. However if you select the notes in this bar and move them one degree up or down, the result becomes acceptable. Is this still considered not being a bug?

You could slightly reduce the length of ledger lines (Engraving options>Notes>Ledger lines) and also the space size (Layout options>Page>Space size)…

I also changed the option to hide tuplet numbers (Engraving options>Tuplets>Repeated tuplets) which helps reduce clutter.

Edit: Here’s the edited file…

Thanks. Yes, looks fine! I started myself with some manual tweaking, especially the fingering position.
