Hey again!

In the charts I'm writing I'd like to have enough space between the notation and the tab to comfortably fit in chord diagrams. Can I increase that space between the two staves to make that happen?

Thanks!

In the Staff Tool, highlight the TAB staff and keep pressing the Down arrow until you get the right amount of space. However, because the chords and fretboards are attached to the upper staff, those won't move with the TAB staff. You'll have to adjust those separately. It looks like you manually moved those. Maybe attach them to the TAB staff. Or, move the Chord and Fretboard baselines to below the staff where you want them.
