That is what I suggested in my first message to you. > Since the behavior is different between the two programs, I will write > it up as an issue that needs to be needs to be addressed in a future > version.

It *can't* be done that way, because the printed music is in multiple layers, and spacing calculations require *all* those layers to get the right spacing. It's not about a single measure, but about all the staves for that particular measure. Your suggestion only works when the visible notation in the measure with blank notation is the most active measure (i.e., has the most content that will be spaced) of all the staves in that measure. This is why it's a bug, because there is no real workaround. -- David W.
