How do I manipulate the space between the voice staff and the grand staff?

• Dec 12, 2015 - 19:22

So, I'm making a score that's arranged for voice and piano. So, there is a part where the Piano plays triplets, that are in the top part of the treble cleff. The voices are voice 1 and 2 on that part of the score so the notes are stem up. However, the 3 of the triplets interfere with the lyrics. I alreadt tried the breaks and spacers, however, the break and spacers only space out one staff of the system. I want it to space out all staffs. (The space between the voice staff and the grand staff needs to be greater). How do I do it?

1 right click on the lower staff
2 click "Staff Properties"
3 Edit the setting "Extra distance above staff"
4 click "Apply" or "OK"

All staves of one system, or those two staves on all systems? There are only three staves on the system, yes, so only two gaps? In which case, just use spacers for both. If on the other hand you do mean those two staves on all systems, then Shift+drag the lower staff up or own as appropriate, or use the "Extra distance" property as mentioned (same thing).
