Gap between two adjacent voices (notes)
A look at the example that I've attached will show you how some of the notes are almost joined together. In bar 2 the quavers of the first voice and second voice are overlaid and in bar 2 the dot in the minim is hidden by the crochet of the second voice. Now, even after I enter the lyrics there is no gap between these notes. Kindly advice how I can create a gap or separate two overlapping notes.
For your info I'm using version 1.3 on Windows XP
Thanks

Try 2.0 Beta 2 or a later nightly builds, it's much better there, although the flags still collide with the note heads.

To avoid that you can nudge them left/right, in 1.x as well as in 2.0
It looks to me as though you have entered some of the notes in the wrong voices.
Do you really want the 2nd tenors to sing a high Ab in the second bar? This is how you have written it.
Surely it would make more musical sense for them to continue singing the Eb they began the bar with, and keep the Ab in the 1st Tenor part.
Likewise in the third bar - do you really want the second Tenor to be above the 1st Tenor on the final note of the bar? It would seem to make more sense for the 1st tenors to sing the Bb and the 2nd tenors to sing the Ab.
This also has the added benefit of the misalignment problems magically sorting themselves out :)

It arrive that sometimes voices overlap (for some notes) , but I don't think this should be the case here.... as Church organist said....

Thank you for your responses. This was only an example to show how some of the notes get overlaid. This is not the actual score. I just wanted to know how to separate two notes that get joined together.
There is now an issue filed on this - #46006: Flag of crossed voice can overlap note in other voice. Not sure if it's coincidence or not that this came up twice in one week?
Anyhow, feel free to comment there about proposed solutions. I know, usually it's better to discuss in forum, but here I think I'd just as soon see suggestions there.
