You cannot move the Fields of Record 2 independently of Record 1. If you select one instance of an item, all instances are selected. If you select Field 1 (= all instances the field), a small triangle handle appears in the middle of the top of Field 1 in Record 1 and in the middle of the bottom of field 1 in record n (if there are n records in the block). If you click and drag on these small handles, the distance between the instances of the field changes (always giving an equidistance between the instances). If you select more than one field, you can use the handle of any of the fields to change the distance. Maybe you can't see the small handle (as in my case sometimes), but its there! Try it, it works!
