I'm with you Mark. In tightly spaced music it looks so much better to have less space between left barline and accidental vs. left barline and notehead.
The other problem is that we (well, me at least :) need one more value in "Music Options/ Spacing" -- "Space before music at the beginning of a system" to conform to publishing standards. Currently it is not possible (without tedious manual tweaking) to get the kind of spacing, that rules out optical confusion of e.g. first sharp of a system -- is it a key signature or an accidental? -- AND at the same time keeping proper spacing of Clef/Key/Time both at the beginning and in the middle of staff system. I guess I'm in minority, so I don't expect it before Finale 2020b :-( with regards, Abel Korzeniowski Mark D Lew wrote: > > Another document setting which would be nice to apply locally is the > > one in Music Options: Spacing (not to be confused with Music Spacing > > Options) that specifies the horizontal distance between the left > > barline and the first item in the measure -- but there the real issue > > is not so much that I want to apply different values locally, but > > rather that I wish I could specify one value for a measure in which the > > first item is a note, and a different value for a measure in which the > > first item is an accidental.
