ledger lines distance?
Greetings
Is there a setting for changing ledger lines distance similar to Staff Properties --> Line Distance?
That setting didn't change ledger line spacing to match change in staff line spacing.
Thank you

So sorry, Adding a spacer between systems didn't change the spacing between ledger lines. Staff Properties--Lines distance only works on lines within (comprising) the staff, not ledger lines above or below it.

It seems to work better when Grand Staff distance increased FIRST, then use Staff Properties-->Line Distance. One earlier test didn't shift ledger lines from original position and overlapped the related staff.

The order in which those settings are changed would not have an effect, something else must be going on. No matter what order you change them in, Line Distance remains the wrong setting to use unless you are deliberately creating your own experimental notation style and don't mind redoing your work when MuseScore 3 comes out and the setting works differently.
You don't say why you are messing with the Line Distance setting to begin with, but note it is intended for experimental / non-Western notations only. If your goal is simply to enlarge the staff, please set that back to 1sp, and then go to Layout / Page Settings to actually increase what "sp" is. Increasing Line Distance won't have the desired effect.
If your goal is indeed to create an experimental notation, then by all means, have a ball. But do note this feature is very buggy, and will change significantly (for the better) in MuseScore 3.

Readability.
My teacher gave me a piece with a LOT of ledger lines through the piece, and I wanted to increase line distance for consult-while-learning-at keyboard. Staff properties-->Line Distance changed the staff lines but earlier attempts this am didn't change ledger lines to match. One try overlapped ledger lines onto the staff instead of shift from original position.
Increasing Grand Staff before Staff Properties-->Line Distance did change ledger lines in tandem with staff lines change.

Again, order doesn't matter. Changing line distance does not affect ledger lines currently no matter what you do. For MuseScore 3, it probably will. With or without a change in line distance, the ledger lines are calculated relative to the original sp setting, meaning they will remain the orignal distance apart, and ledger lines below the staff will overlap the staff if you increase the line distance, or float below if you decrease it.
