I put my page in letter size, and the content is letter but the actual page is A5 size. How can I get both to be Letter?
Welcome to the forum, @lucasnyd13!
It looks like you’re looking at Layout Options for the full score, but you’re printing a part. Make sure you have the correct layout selected in the right panel in Layout Options when you’re setting the page size.

Aaron, the screenshot does show a score (no layout name), so maybe @lucasnyd13 just has to switch from Full Score to the Part Layout?
Lucas, welcome to the forum!
Does your Full Score only contains this Bass Clarinet instrument? Have you tried changing to the Bass Clarinet Layout?
Layout Options default to the layout you are looking at the time.
Yes, the screenshot could be a score with staff labels turned off, or a part with the layout name removed. Hard to tell.
There’s only one part because this is just a transcription for a friend. This has been an issue in all of my scores since switching to Dorico.
When you print to a printer, the page size is determined not by what you have defined in Page Setup, but by the paper size chosen in that right-hand panel; Dorico will scale the “virtual” size from Page Setup to fit on the actual paper.
However, it looks like you currently don’t have a printer or a paper size selected, so I think Dorico is defaulting to A4. What happens if you pick a printer and then pick Letter? If you don’t have any actual printers attached to your computer, you could install a virtual PDF printer, like ‎PDF Printer Lite App - App Store – this worked for another user with the same issue. Restart Dorico after installing, and you should be good.
(When you choose Graphics as a destination, Dorico is supposed to use the page size from Page Setup, but per the other thread I linked to, this also doesn’t seem to happen if you have no printers installed.)

Lucas, I see.
If you have no printer connected, try to change this from:
Fit to Paper->Custom Scale 100%
This worked! Thank you so much. Y’all are actually the best, this forum is amazing.
