  1. Import the attached file without resetting.
  2. Go into Format > Style > Page.
  3. In "Enable vertical justification of staves", increase "Minimum staff distance".

Expected result: No effect since "Staff distance" should not effect grand staff or Staff/tab staves distance (these are covered by "Grand staff distance").
Actual result: The staff/tab spacing increases.

This seems to be an oversight. Doesn't a "Min. grand staff distance" also needs to be added to menu?

To me this is by design, I do expect there to be some spread, and the algorithm does take grand staves into consideration. That said, no doubt there is room for additional refinement.

For vertical justification of staves, staff/tab distance is not covered by Grand staff distance. Distance effected by Grand staff distance are staff spacings within a brace only.
