Varying distance between scale ends

[jarvis24]

Yes, the numbers and any line between them would be different stimuli. You can use percentages when specifying screen location so this should be pretty easy. Take a look at the section on compound screens in the user's guide.

In the example you gave, you could try:

~2     .4,.5,0     0     ~8     .6,.5,0     0

vs.

~2     .3,.5,0     0     ~8     .7,.5,0     0

Hope that helps,
