I am having some trouble getting my two-line bongo staff to look correctly. I've got it so my notes are appearing in the right places, but the clef and the time signature are too low, and the time sig is oddly spaced. Not sure how to proceed.

I am attaching two graphics - one to show you what the staff looks like, and one of the staff setup settings I'm using in the custom staff section of score manager.

Definitely a matter of taste.

Here is my shot at it:

Ah thanks Peter - this helps!

I see I have to do Custom, rather than 2-line... !
