Re: not so nice horizontal spacing

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi Stefan,

as far as I can see, the drum beats are exactly aligned to the time in 
the piano staffs below - the second drum beat is aligned to 3/4, like 
the rests in the piano staff below.

If you separate drum and piano staffs in separate scores, the alignment 
will be independent from each other.

Or you could contract the first 1/4 and 1/8 rests in the piano staff 
into a dotted quarter rest which would save some space on the piano 
staffs - doesn't look very good though.

Also, the spacing might get better if you got rid of the accidentals by 
supplying a correct key.

Best,
Robert
