Dear Dave,
thank you so much for your kind help.
another problem is when i put "expressions" or "tecnics" or "line"
text or signs all together on one note, usually they overlap each
other. this problem was not removed by enlarging the space of the
staves. what do you and other friends advice?
Warm Regards,
Saeed
