With nothing quoted, I take it you are responding to the question
about how to get the staves in a system more closely spaces for only

It was in the first version of Finale I ever used, 2.01, back in
1991. My guess is that it's a near-original feature, and I'm glad to
hear it's been enhanced.

enter the staff positions in Staff Usage a while ago, or dragging every staff
individually, but it's tedious just thinking about that now.

Respace Staves goes back at least to v3.0 (early 90s). What I don't

This is a feature I discovered much more recently.
