space staves evenly

[jose oscar]

On page 2 I'd like to have 4 staves spaced evenly, but space between the last to ones is narrower than desired

I appreciate your always valuable help

(Without looking at your file) The even space is between the staff margins, not the staves themselves, so check the dotted lines in the Page Layout tool.

Thank you, motet,but when I try to separate the staves with the dotted lines the last staff goes to a new page

Go to Page Layout > Systems > Edit Margins

Change systems 5 through 8 and pick a number for the bottom number and apply. I used 1.0 and it looks pretty good.

P.S. Have you considered 12/8 rather than all those triplets?

Thank you very much, Bill.

Then the route is:

PAGE LAYOUT menu/ SYSTEMS/EDIT MARGINGS
Bottom: 1.0
System: 5 Through: 8

Page margins have to be the same the same for the 2 pages of the file!

Thank you for your suggestion as well

Looking at the file, I see that system margins is one part of the mix. The other part is that the Page margins are not the same for the 2 pages. I would make them the same, and then adjust system margins as needed. You might want to increase the top margin of system 5 to give more space from the top of the page. Making the page margins uniform does send the text at the top of page 2 move off the page, as you had entered that text according to the page margin, which has now been changed.

In any event, you need to do what you need to do, but system margins and page margins interact with each other, so both need to be considered.
