Hello,

I'm having an issue with text entries not allowing me to place them as close together as I would like.
I'd assumed there was an option somewhere for minimum distance between text boxes, but couldn't seem to find it.

I've not had this issue ever before, but I'm dealing with a Finale .xml file that I've opened up and started to copy & paste into my Sibelius template so these sorts of troublesome minutiae are bound to occur.

Thanks for any help!

You can turn off magnetic layout altogether or alter the minimum distance for the styles you are using here:

Thank you!

That was what I needed.

It's so obvious—in retrospect—that the minimum distance options were under Magnetic Layout rather than through the Text windows.
