How do I change the distance between staff lines? Can I change the distance between the lines on just one staff or will all the staves change? Can I change the distance between the lines on a staff in only one system or will all sytems be affected? Can I make the staff line distances uneven?

And, if I can do some or all of these, how do I do it?

Thanks for any help.

see "staff styles" in your manual. Changing independent lines spacing to be unequal is not possible.

Brian Hughes,

 

We need more info from you:

* What, exactly, do you need, and why?

 

The better we understand, the better we can help.

 

One thing that comes to mind:

Instead of altering the distance between the staff-lines, consider resizing (use the Resize Tool).

There are several variations on resizing - all of them will affect the staff-line distance:

1) You can resize everything on the entire page.

2) You can resize everything in a system.

3) You can resize everything in a staff.

 

Making {un-even staff-line distances} is a different kind of beast.

Generally, staff-lines in Finale are equidistant.

However, you can hide individual staff-lines, and thus create an “illusion” of un-even staff-line distances.
