moving staves closer together or farther apart
I am working on a MacBook Air (OS 13.1) and trying to move staves closer together. The instruction says to select a staff and use the Alt (Option) key and the up/down arrows, but that does nothing. Pressing the touchpad and dragging them also doesn't work as the whole page moves. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

If there is one specific pair of staves/systems you need to move closer, a "Staff spacer fixed down" would do the job. See the Spacers chapter in the handbook.
if you in general want to keep the systems closer, there are settings:

There's no shortcut. And yes, these items are still available in Mu4

OK, this is the source of my confusion. These answers appear to be in reference to MuseScore, but I suppose the last one was included incorrectly for the search. (It came up in other searches as well.) Maybe it's for Sibelius (where these suggestions do work). Thank you.
