Are the accents colliding with the staff (see cellos in the screenshot) a regular occurrence in Dorico, or is this happening because its a Finale XML import? As per an earlier suggestion, I applied “Reset Appearance” and “Reset Position” to this passage, but it didn’t help. I also tried toggling the accents on and off (using the [ key), but no help there either. I don’t see anything in articulation settings in Engraving Options that relates to avoiding staff lines either. What am I missing?
Did you check Engraving Options > Articulations > Vertical Position > Advanced Options?
I would advise against working with imported files. Better copy the music into a new project, especially there are a lot of “traps” with the instrument import.

Thanks, Vadian. That’s what I was looking for! I had gone through the Articulations Options, but didn’t realize the “>” next to Advanced Options opens up a new menu. I thought it was just a heading for what comes below it (silly me).
