Or does Sib 6 automatically do that in magnetic layout? I've heard about this feature, but don't have a good idea about what it is or what it does. Would you give a brief explanation?

Then do all these things from the Layout menu, making sure the whole score is always selected. 1. Reset the note spacing (letter n) 2. Reset the space above the staff (letter v) 3. Reset the space below the staff (letter w) 4. Optimize the staff spacing (letter o) Executing all these things is not a guarantee of perfect spacing, because the options within staff optimization can get complex. But these things together offer a good place to start.

Can I independently use magnetic layout to get my Sib 5 file to look correct? I have no usable vision, but need to tweak a file so it looks readable and not all crammed together. If yes, even a little bit, what do I need to know to get started?
