Hi again everyone,

In a score, I have a piano chord with five flats and a wiggly 'arpeggio / rolled' line on its left side. The wiggly line collides with the bar line. Should I move the bar line left, or move all the first beats in the system to the right?

Cheers and thanks for any tips!

Hector Pascal.

Hector,
Go to the Measure Attributes dialogue box for that measure. It allows you to add some extra space.

You could also set Finale to space for articulations. It will then take the roll into account.
