Comment:

 Sorry for not getting back. I missed the previous message alert.

 It is possible to set the label distance but from my testing I could only
 see how to do it globally for each layer rather than each individual piece
 of text. Whilst setting it globally is useful, it would be useful if it
 could also be done manually for each piece of text. For example one piece
 of text may clash with a non-text feature and require to be moved in
 solely that once case. As a cartographer that is something I would find
 useful.
