Staff Line Options > Line/staff spacing

With the Properties Tool selected, right-click (alt + click for Mac) in any

staff line for spacing options. The Spacing window provides a method to

make and uniformly apply changes in staff and system distances to the

remainder of the score. Measurements shown are numerical representations

of distances for all staves of the active system. Changes made by colored

spacing tabs in the main ENF view can also be applied using this window.

See earlier section (colored tabs for line and staff spacing).

Here are some practical examples:
