To change the distance between notes

The distance between the notes in each measure is determined by your choice of Allotment Library (see Document Options-Music Spacing). You can also drag individual notes horizontally in one staff (see Note positioning), and you can change the horizontal position of notes in all staves that fall on a certain beat (see Beat positions).
