Distance between symbols at line break

• May 25, 2013 - 17:34

Ignoring this , what are the rules regarding the distance of symbols such as key and time signatures at the end of a line break?

I'm looking at pages 41-43 of 'Behind Bars' and other examples, but I'm not sure. Should it be half a stave space?

The attached example was produced in 1.3.

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (c7323dd) - Mac 10.7.5.

The MuseScore example looks too tight to me. Page 42 of Behind Bars suggests a distance of 1-1.5 stave spaces between the key signature and the time signature (and on page 41 says no less that 0.5 stave spaces when space is limited).

Also the key signature should appear before the time signature (see attached). In MuseScore the key signature appears after the time signature (see system three of chen lung's sample above).
