how to add a new line between using statements and namespace when using custom snippet

Question

Now when I import namespaces it writes the using statements close to the namespace statement. I would like a line between them.

Snippet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">  
<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">    
  <Header>

    </SnippetTypes>      
    <Title>ICollection using defined entity</Title>      
    <Author>Stein Lundbeck</Author>

    </Header>    
    <Snippet>      
       <Imports>        
           <Import>          
              <Namespace>System.Collections.Generic</Namespace>        
           </Import>        
           <Import>          
              <Namespace>System.Collections.ObjectModel</Namespace>        
           </Import>      
        </Imports>     
        <Declarations>        
           <Literal Editable="true">          
             <ID>Name</ID>          
             <ToolTip>Name of type</ToolTip>          
             <Default>myColl</Default>        
           </Literal>        
           <Literal Editable="true">          
              <ID>TEntity</ID>          
              <ToolTip>Type of generic object</ToolTip>          
              <Default>string</Default>        
           </Literal>      
         </Declarations>      
         <Code Language="csharp" Delimiter="$" Kind="file"><![CDATA[  ICollection<$TEntity$> $Name$ = new Collection<$TEntity$>();]]>      
         </Code>    
       </Snippet>  
    </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

Output:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
namespace Test
{
    class MyClass
    {

        ICollection<int> myColl = new Collection<int>();

    }  
}

As you can see, there's no line between the using statements and the namespace statement

Hi line beneath using statements in custom snippet,

There are no related elements which could implement it in snippet file. So I am afraid that you can't get the results you want at this stage. 

Please refer the elements of snippet code here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/code-snippets-schema-reference?view=vs-2019#imports-element.

Best Regards,

Dylan
