How do i space out staffs in version 3?

• Aug 26, 2020 - 21:36

I remember being able to shift+drag to move around the staffs in version 2 but that doesn't work for me in version 3. It's kinda annoying that if you are using a staff for guitar and have an instrument below, you cant put in the Low E, you have to input a note like F and then lower that. If i can just move the staff that problem goes away, at least it did in version 2.

As mentioned, extra distance above staff will do this. Perhaps better is just to enter the note via the keyboard, or entering an octave above then move it down with Ctrl+Down.

Note there is a pending change that may go into 3.5.1, and if so, you won't need any of these workarounds - note entry by mouse will favor the current staff rather than let the next staff below "steal" its notes.
