2. To set the horizontal position of a staff, choose
   • Left
     The staff will be aligned with the left page margin.
   • Left with previous staff.
     As above. If a previous staff on the same page does not align with the left page margin, e.g. because of box wrapping, the current staff will left align with the previous staff.

To set the distance between staffs on the same page,
change the value in the Spacing between Staffs field.

Note: The actual distance between staffs can be greater in cases where boxes force a staff to move.
