Here's another suggestion... First in the Layout menu, under Format make sure that you unlock the format. Now go to the bar you want to stretch. You're going to find a way to highlight the end bar, which is not so easy with Sib-Access. tab to the last note or rest in that bar, so that the very next item will be the ending bar line. Create Menu Create bar lines Select Normal bar line Press Enter You should now be sitting on the end bar. Do not press any other keys or you will lose that position. Press Ctrl+Shift+F5 to enable moving of this object. Use your arrow or Ctrl+arrow keys to move it to the right. Tab out. I'm only guessing now that this should have dragged that bar line to the right, to give more room.

There you can customize the spacing of notes. Under normal circumstances, though, you should not need such a thing. I suppose another thing you could try is to put in rests in voice 2, and hide those rests. Perhaps then the notes will space differently.
