Horizontal spacing with arpeggio and accidental
Hello,
In Musescore 4.4.3, I have the measure I hope you can see in the attached screenshot. I want to increase the space between the last pair of eighth notes, so that the arpeggio and accidental both fit comfortably, but can't work out how to do it. I'd appreciate any help.

For me, the default layout in Mu 4.4.3 is perfect already.

But there are also some tricks which you can use to force more space:

OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64,

Thank you kindly, Daniel. I tried deleting and re-inputting the notes and discovered that, as you say, the default layout is perfect. I also discovered that simply selecting and copying the notes and then pasting them back into the measure also fixed the problem.
So I don't know what caused the arpeggio and accidental to appear scrunched up on-screen in the first place (I found the score like that when I downloaded it), but trying to fix the layout by any other method was giving me a headache. In future, I'll know to try these simpler methods first!

Before deleting and re-entering, try selecting the elements that don't look right (or just select the measure containing them) and press [Ctrl] R - this resets the elements to default position and is often enough to sort out spacing problems. Beware applying it to the whole score, though, as it will reset any custom layout changes that you may have made.
