Two questions about MS 2.3.0
1. What does the "Set style" button in the Inspector do?
2. Where a vertical frame is positioned above a staff line, is "Bottom gap" now the distance between the bottom margin and the top line of the staff?

1. I can't find "Set Style" in Inspector. Sorry - can you enlighten me, please?
2. The distance between the bottom edge of a vertical frame and the stave below seems to be the sum of "Bottom gap" (value shown in Inspector for the frame) and "Vertical frame bottom margin" in Style ->General ->Page.
2.3.0? There is no such version
Oops, I meant MS 3.0.0. "Set style" is the downward pointing arrow next to "Top gap" and "Bottom gap" when you select a vertical frame.

Ah, the thing left of the reset buttons?
I was wondering what these are about too, they are not in the corresponding UI files, I guess they take these setting back into Format → General Style... → Page → Vertical Frame top/bottom margin. See inspectorBase.cpp, line 529 ff .

Oh, that's actually pretty cool then! Except it seems broken if that's the intent - maybe a units conversion issue? When I increase the gap a little then hit the button it changes the style setting to some much larger value.

Good point, indeed seems pretty broken. Another, probably related and minor issue is that the spinboxes look disabled but can get used to set a different value anyway. And this only happens to spinboxes that also have that "set style" button

My understanding is the following
* Let's call a property "styled" if it follows the value of the corresponding style.
* The "arrow" icon is supposed to reset the property to its hardcoded default or to the style value if any AND make the property "styled" again.
* The "set style" is supposed to set the style property *of the score* to the current value in the control.
The spinbox looks disabled but it isn't. It's a unfortunate color choice I believe. The control in the inspector is colored in gray if the property is "styled".

So "Set as style" would be a more appropriate text for that, right?
Leaves the problem that it just doesn't work properly ;-)

It does work properly for example for horizontal beam.
I will check the top/bottom gap, it's probably off by a spatium factor. I will also change the color for styled property to green. We should also have a blue (or other) color when two or more elements are selected and the values are different and it's broken right now.
