Spacing Issues for Lex.Greek-English Interlinear SBL

In the screenshot I've linked to below, I'm comparing the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear NT SBL Edition with the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear. The Hebrew has a very helpful amount of vertical space between each verse to make it easier for the eye to figure out which set of words are set together.

By comparison, the Greek NT has significantly less spacing.

Is there a way for the user to adjust how much spacing there is between lines? Since we can add entire lines of text (and have it adjust accordingly) making the gap user adjustable would be ideal so that each user could fiddle with it to make it easier for their use case. 

Thank you!

    Your dropbox view is interesting.  Not looking at the exact difference, I matched my SBL/greek against hebrew/english.  Looks exactly the same?  I'm just pulling the text, morph and gloss lines. Must be something different.

    EDIT: Ok, the hebrew view is one font size smaller between my panels.

    There's a global line-spacing option but it's global; not panel specific.  The pleasurable hebrew (I think) has more to do with the hebrew font itself.

    Interesting; when I change the default Hebrew font, it does change the font of the Lex Heb/English Interlinear (and in turn adjusts the line spacing between verses slightly). However, when I change the default Greek font, it doesn't change the font of the Greek text in the Lex. Greek English Interlinear NT/SBL. 

    Changing Line Spacing in preferences has no effect on either book.

    Learned something new! I've no idea what's going on with SBL ...

    It does change for me (v28.2, win 11) and the font changes for other interlinears.

    - Changing fonts now works correctly in  the interlinear, which is odd (I had tried restarting the app last night, but maybe I had to reboot my system?)

    - However, the line spacing still doesn't work on Lexham SBL Interlinear, nor on Lexham Ralhf's Interlinear.  I've attached a video below showing that, while also showing it working fine on Nestle Aland. I'm on Win 11 // Logos 28.2.43

    Thanks!

    It works somewhat on Lexham Rahlfs, not at all on Lexham SBL and not at all on both NA27 Interlinear and NA27 (unlike your NA28). It works on SBLGNT. But it works only with the headings on UBS4 and UBS4 Interlinear!

    So there is some resource dependency.

    I have Content Scaling at 110% and Program Scaling at 90%. And each panel has the same sizing (on the slider). What is yours?

    Content scaling & Program scaling are both at 100% for me.
