Avoid overlapping yticks, controlling Placement of yticks

Hello. Im trying to control the placement on the yticks seen in the figure below. I need to have a large fontsize as it should be visble in a report. Is there anyway of dragging the ytick dates, with a line showing its designation. Alternativly, increase the distance between to yticks ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Tor. I would advise taking a look at yticks and yticklabels. yticks should allow you to set arbitrarily spaced values, and yticklabels should enable arbitrarily annotated labels. I would advise to make yticklabels the desired labels as you show in the figure, while using any spacing you like (possibly linear spacing) for yticks.

For what it's worth, this answer solves the problem by way of color-coded annotations instead of ticklabels. The color-coding helps with clarity for adjacent lines.
That said, dealing with annotation objects can be quite convoluted and frustrating, so I don't fault anyone for avoiding this suggestion. It looks nice, though.
