Re: [Finale] Space between clef and first note

[Michael Cook]

Finale doesn't have a setting for the space before music just at the 
beginning of each system. An increased space here makes the music 
easier to read: you can see this in most high-quality hand engraved 
music. You can use TGTools to enlarge the space, but of course it 
would be better if there was a document option that took care of this 
automatically. I put this on my last list of feature requests and 
I'll put it on the next one: ask for it as well and maybe MakeMusic 
will consider putting it on the list of priorities.

Best wishes,

Michael Cook

In Fin2k3 The space between the clef and the first note or rest is 
found in Options/Document Options/Notes and Rests: Spacing before 
Music. My setting is 24 EVPUs or about 0.08 in. The setting for 
space after clefs is normally 0. I don't think anything you might 
do would change these settings. It's quite possible that the 
setting for Spacing Before Music is to low.
Thanks, Hal, for your reply. But I think the setting you mention 
affects the space at the beginning of each measure, and not between 
only the clef and the first note (after the clef). Anyway, I opened 
a couple of scores (Henle, Bärenreiter, Breitkopf), and I notice 
that there is generally about 4-5 mm between the right side of the 
bass clef and the left side of the first note (in systems with no 
key or time signature). Isn't there any way to set the leading space 
for the first measure of each system?
