A Setting for the Space between Multimeasure Rests and End-measure
Clefs
IWBNI there were a setting that could be used to specify the amount
of space that should be placed between a multimeasure rest and an end-measure
clef.
As it is now, multmeasures rests collide with end-measures clefs. This
may be demonstrated by the performing the following steps:
-
Select the menu item File>New>Default Document.
-
Select the menu item View>Page View.
-
Select the clef tool.
-
Double click the third measure to create a clef change to a bass clef at
the beginning of measure 3.
-
Select the measure tool and select the first two measures.
-
Select the menu item Create on the Measure>Multimeasure Rests
submenu.
-
Select the mass move tool.
-
Select the menu item Music Spacing Options on the Options>Document
Settings submenu and select the checkbox Avoid Collision of Clefs
on the Music Spacing Options dialog box.
-
Press Ctrl+A to select all measures and press 4 to apply note spacing.
The multimeasure rest will collide with the bass clef.
As it is now, such collisions may be eliminated by modifying the setting
Adjust
Endpoint on the Multimeasure Rest dialog box for the multimeasure
rest.
This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Multmeasure
Rest dialog box:
