How to adjust pitch space?

Hi,

Some of my wording overlapping each other. The way I can think of is to adjust the pitch spacing. May I know where I can adjust this?

Thank you.

I believe you are trying to ask how to space notes further apart so that lyrics anchored to them won't be set too close together. In theory, lyrics syllables should never actually overlap. But if they are being set too close to each other for you, you can increase the 'stretch' between notes by selecting the appropriate measures and then typing } one or more times.

You can also increase the note spacing for the entire score by increasing the parameter in the 'Spacing' field in the Style>General>Measure dialogue. This parameter is set to 1.2 by default; try increasing it in increments of 0.1 until you get the result you want. (Note that 'stretch' adjustments made on a measure-by-measure basis will override this parameter.)
