distance between staffs

• Dec 5, 2016 - 23:50

My score has chord symbols and no lyrics. The chord symbols show up closer to the staff above than to the staff below (which is where they belong). I've tried all the settings on the Style->General->Page screen, but nothing seems to move the chord symbols down.

The easiest way to edit all of the chord symbols at once is to right any of them and select "Text style..." You can select the alignment or the offset as you wish and it will be applied to all similar items.

Also see Style / General / Chord Symbols. There is a vertical height setting that can be used in addition to or instead of changing the offset in the text style. Either works.

Note though that the defaults *should* work pretty well for most scores. It is possible there is something else going on with your score - like maybe you reduced the staff or system distance? - to cause it to not look so good in your particular case. Feel free to attach your score so we can see what else might be happening here to cause you to be seeing a problem in the first place.
