Mike,
If you're aligning to the baseline grid and mucking about with your leading you won't see any difference unless the leading change is enough to tip it to the next baseline.
The same is the case if you're playing with your paragraph padding (ie 'space after' in your paragraph panel / paragraph rules).

It didnt work... like Leading :(
What I need is to jump every horizontal line (baseline)
Thats all..
With leading or p. space after it jumps more than one at a time!

so, is there any way to change text leading trought every next baseline?

TURN THE BASELINE GRID OFF

Alright,
1) If you want to strictly align to your grid, turn that on via prefs.
2) Do some math, you'll have to figure out what your grid-spacing is going to be; 12pt, 18pt, whatever.
3) Once you know what you want for your grid, then your leading and/or pgraph spacing will be a factor of your grid-spacing — so if you've got a grid-line every 18pt, then your padding-after will be 18pt, or 26pt, etc.
4) Possibly do what airey suggests.- how dare you include actual facts in this conversation...airey
- Fuck, you're right. Sorry, will never happen again. ;)********
- And by 26 I of course meant 36pt......

in your style sheets under the alignment tab where it says align to baseline grid, make sure the pulldown is set to "first line only".

To be fair - this had a creative director I used to work with stumped for ages.

So, how do you work with lines and text AND baseline grid? do you align lines with baseline? or...

Stop using the baseline grid, and then you can set it to anything you want.
- It's ironic that a man named monospaced suggest turning off the BL.
:)******** - monospaced has nothing to do with leading, bromonospaced
- No shit. I'm joking.
It's funny that a monospaced font wouldn't also have a strict BL grid.******** - I draw outside the linesmonospaced
- haha.
Draw on, amigo.********
