Thank you, Shoichi, for your reply.
Sorry but I do not understand.

There's nothing to understand. I've got a blunder :(
I do not think it's possible to distance 'just' the ledger lines. But maybe somebody has a solution.
Does playback have to work?
Maybe an 'Ossia'?
In reply to There's nothing to… by Shoichi
No, playback does not have to work. I just want the visual, especially when playing in dimly lit rooms!
I will look in to what is an "Ossia." Thank you.
The "line distance" in staff properties in 2.1 doesn't work correct. It's fixed in the development version of the master (3.0). There the adjustments also affects the distance between notes on ledger lines. So I'm not sure if there's a solution with MuseScore 2.1.

Thank you, Kuwitt!
You don't; Because that part is tightly connected with the staff lines.
But: if you increase "Scaling" from "Page Settings" (for example: 2.0 or 2.2), this range will also increase. (whole score also) // instead of the entire score, if you just want to make settings for that instrument: Right click, select "Staff properties" set in "Scale".
In addition, if you choose "Bravura" or "Gonville" musical symbols font from "Style-> General-> Score", the note circles become slightly thinner.

or, more laborious

Ah, yes, Shoichi, MS02 and MS03 above are methods that would indeed help me see those stacked notes more quickly, which is what I was wanting to achieve.
Please, what is HTH?
Thank you!

And, can you tell me where the instructions are for MS02 and MS03 so I can duplicate in the future
what you did in my example?

It's not really clear what you are trying to do. Ledger lines are defined by the rules of music notation to be the same distance apart as the staff lines themselves. If you were to deviate from that standard, musicians who read standard notation won't be able to understand your music. if the goal is to create your own experimental notation system, MuseScore probably won't support that directly, but there are probably manual workarounds. So if you describe your actual goal here, maybe someone can advise you on the best way to achieve it.

Thank you all for your replies!
I just wanted to find a way to more easily and quickly read those chord notes (B, E, G) on the ledger lines above the staff. Since you already taught me (thank you!) how to increase the vertical distance of ledger lines on the staff (Staff Properties, then increase the Scales percentage to, for example, 125%), I could use that same method (as in the attached) even though I only wanted to increase the distance between the notes on the ledger lines (B, E, G) above the staff and not the ledger lines on the staff, and only in that measure.
I guess a simpler solution would be just to label the notes I might have difficulty reading quickly, in this case, using text to write out the letter B, E and G along side the whole notes as is done when adding fingering numbers along side the notes.
Thanks again.

In that case I definitely recommend agaisnt any workarounds for increasing distance between ledger lines. It might help you reading that particular score, but you will learn bad habits that will then make it harder to read normal scores. We don't normally read by counting ledger lines, we read by gauging the visual distance. So if you get used to a note two ledger lines above the staff being a certain distance above the staff, you'll end up misreading it when you then encounter this in standard notation, and will have to unlearn the the habits you learned this way.
Better to add the note names if that helps for now.

Many thanks, Marc, for taking the time to explain that I might be learning bad habits by doing what I asked (i.e., adjusting the ledger lines) as I certainly would not want to do that. I have come a long way in the last few years and have no desire to go backwards. Thanks for caring!
Can someone tell me how Shoichi accomplished MS02.mscz and MS03.mscz (increasing the size of specific notes above the staff (MS02))
and
adding distance between the ledger lines (MS03) for those specific notes as demonstrated in his reply?
Thank you.

Ciao Megan R.
In MS02 I made the top notes invisible and added an image with Toggle Image Capture;
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/image-capture
In MS03 I made the top notes invisible then I inserted the visible notes pressing 'Z' (or Shift + F9) Master Palette, then 3 lines from Lines palette
