But that is precisely its power. The ability to provide extra margins combined with the "take existing gaps into account" option saves eons of time over what I've tried with the built in tool. Suppose a particular page has a couple of systems that need extra vertical space. You evenly space the systems, leaving a gap at the bottom. Then you add the extra space for the couple of systems. Then you respace them with the "Take existing gaps into account" option checked, leaving a minimal margin. For laying out single-staff parts, it is simply fantastic. I agree, for scores and multi-staff parts, that some way to automatically spread out staves within a system would be useful. That is not JW Space Systems, however. There are some tools (Finale's Respace Staves and TGTools has something as well), but nothing that is nearly as automatic as one might wish. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
