Well, you have to enter three numbers manually. Here is where you find it: Document Options -> Music Spacing. There is a button at the bottom left "Spacing Widths...". Click that. Now you have two options, the first being the traditional method using a library of fixed values. In my opinion the new option of using values is more accurate yet more flexible. Mine are set to 1024 EDUs(which is a quarter note for the reference note value) 84 EVPUs(this is the space which the above value, ie a quarter note takes) 1.4 for the Scaling Factor (this determines how all the other notevalues are calculated). I use this for Maestro. For Maestro Wide you may want to increase the Reference width a little, although I am not even sure this is necessary. These values will give you a spacing which is similar to a lot of Henle's. If you want wider spacing you will want to increase the Reference width. If you want your spacing more proportional you want to increase the Scaling factor (2 would give you 100% proportionality (ie a half note will take twice the space of a quarter note, I think 1 would make everything the same width). If you are doing Rennaissance music with very large note values you may want to use another Reference Duration. I hope this helps. I am afraid I am about to leave for several weeks probably with no email, so if anything remains unclear I hope others can jump in.
