Yes, that's at the top of my list too: Intelligent vertical spacing for
staves within each system and between each system.
I can't imagine which users would not benefit from this feature. As a
performer, I'm sick of having to use scores where the staves are too
far apart: in many cases people seem to have just kept the Finale
default spacing, which leaves far too much white space. This happens
even with scores from reputable publishers: for an orchestral score the
paper will be far too big (A3 is typical in Europe), but the staves and
notes will be surprisingly small and hard to read. I think that the use
of programs such as Finale has helped to spread the strange idea that a
well-made score should have equally spaced staves and systems: this
needs to change.
