Minimum space above volta

• Jun 10, 2017 - 11:52

First thank you for an excellent free program.

Would it be possible in Style, General, Hairpins/Volta/Ottava to add a minimum height above Volta option?

I have a score including Voltas and I find the Voltas are too close to the system immediately above them. I know I can adjust Minimum system distance, but then the gap between systems looks too big between systems without Voltas. I am using the Stave Spacer Up to add the extra space at the moment, but as the Voltas cover several systems I have to make sure I add a spacer to every system. As the number of bars in a system can change due to editing I can end up with the spacers moving from one system to another, ending up with none on a system or sometimes two. While two is not a problem, none is and I would prefer no to add a spacer to every bar or every other bar just on the off chance that they move.

3.0 (whenever that comes out one day) will have item avoidance built in. Systems will move as needed to keep things like voltas from running into the above system.
