I've got one part of standard notation and a tab part underneath. I want .75" between these parts/staves throughout the whole piece. Right now I've been going line by line with the staff tool, dragging the tab line up manually to .75. There's got to be a quicker way to do this right?

Double-click the handle and drag. It's magic.

In the Staff Tool: Staff > Respace Staves.

Then you can select all staves to be 0.75 inches from each other for every page of the score.
