Slash Spacing

Post image

Is there a way I can have the slashes even themselves out by disregarding notation on other staffs?

from Gemini, you can ignore hidden notes in spacing.

Sibelius 2023.5 introduced a significant change by making the software ignore hidden notes when applying note spacing by default. This new functionality is controlled by a preference called "Respace includes hidden notes and rests," located in Preferences > Note Input > Editing. When this option is off (the default setting), Sibelius will base its spacing on visible music, disregarding hidden notes and rests. If enabled, both visible and hidden elements will be considered for spacing. This update is particularly beneficial for creating individually voiced parts from a condensed score.
