Is there a way to bring staves closer together if there is a hidden staff(s) between them?
Is there a way to bring staves closer together if there is a hidden staff(s) between them?
I have a piano part with ossias for the treble and bass clef for only a few bars. However, they cause the regular piano systems to be too far apart.
Also the voltas are raised and cannot be lowered to appear properly.

So you are using the "cutaway" option in Staff Properties? Also set "Hide when empty" to "Always" (or turn on "Hide empty staves" in Format / Style).
If that doesn't help, please attach your score so we can understand and assist better.

Yes. Yes.

Looks fine to me to be honest. A little bit of space is condensable by setting the "extra distance above staff" under the staff properties to a negative value.

OK, so we're talking about the distance between systems, not the distances between staves within the system. It's actually quite consistent here. The distance between the first & second system is exactly the same as the distance between the second & third: it's 9 sp either way. It's just a little deceiving because the chord symbol above the second system makes it look closer. Which indeed makes it understandable you'd subjectively want less space between the second & third, to make it "seem" more consistent. So, you can use a fixed spacer (last one on the palette, it's new for 3.0), which allows you to draw the systems closer.

Well, I'm having limited success.
Also, do you know of a way to have the voltas closer to the staves?

Default volta distance is set in Format / Style / Volta, or you can move them individually by dragging or via the Inspector.
Regarding the "limited success", feel free to attach your best attempt and we can help further from there.

I was able to get more what I wanted by turning off auto placement.

I am having the same question. I created a mock score. The treble and cleff are quite distant and I was wondering how to create them closer together. Thank you
I made a mockup score fitting the described situation. Look at the instrument / staff settings to see my settings
