Hi all,

I have 2 questions.

1. What's the best way to get chord symbols centered between the top and bottom staves of a piano part?

2. Is it possible to set the default spacing between the top and bottom staves of a piano part to be the same throughout the score?

Thanks :)

Here are my suggestions (based on Sib 7.5):

1. Select all > Filters > Chord Symbols > Inspector (Ctrl/Cmd Shift I) > Change the Y setting to a +/- value to place the chord symbols

2. In Layout ribbon: use Reset Space - Above and Below on the whole selected score.

For more or less space between staves, change the value n (the default spacing) in Engraving Rules > Staves > n spaces between staves.
