Hello everyone! I’m trying to move the text closer to the top of the page. I went into page margins and set the top margin for the right page to be 0pt, but that didn’t change anything. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be great please!
Am I correct that you set this in your Page Template?(Score or Part? First Page or Default?)
Can you post a couple of measure excerpt from the Dorico file so we can see your settings?
I’m meaning this in the nicest way possible, but how would it be the first page when there isn’t a main title? Secondly, the text is from the project info window, and lastly, what does any of this have to do with what I’m trying to achieve?
One can delete tokens from the First Page template (or the part layout) to create any look one wants. Can you post a one-or-two-measure excerpt from your Dorico file so we can see your settings and answer your question?
Well, you’re not answering my question(s) still. What does posting bars from my music have to do with my issue?
When you only provide a screenshot, we will have to guess.
When you provide a project, even with just a view bars, we can look at your settings, and give you an answer based on your settings.
Derrek, I’ve said that I did that and it did NOT work.
Well, it is apparently possible. If you could help us out, we might be able to see where you went astray.

The picture is showing a Left page (judging by the page number token)
How is it a left page when it’s the second page of the project?
Because the first page of a project is usually a right page!
That makes no sense in my mind ha. If I’m looking at how it’s laid out when viewing my project in Dorico, the even numbered pages are the right pages in my mind.
Also, for whatever reason, when I only adjust the top margin for the left page, Dorico is also making changes to the right page as well.

Sounds as if @Janus’s first post gets the Solution check here.
Mixing up R & L pages is not an uncommon oversight. Many of us have mixed it up at times.
That’s why posting a Dorico example helps us help you quickly (usually

Yes, Janus, did. However, I’m still confused as to why when I make changes to the left page only, it also affects the right page as well.
When I change the top margin for the left page from my 44.8pt to like 20pt and I click apply, I see my systems moving a teeny amount closer to each other on the first page.
Also, yes, I know I had the difference button activated. I don’t want the left pages to have the same top margin as the right pages.
There’s another thing:
You’ve edited your page locally (instead of editing the page template)
You’ve added
The flat sign is probable copied from somewhere else, and is in Finale Legacy font.
It appears to add whitespace above and below it.
If you change the flat sign by the flat token, that extra space disappears, and thus the text shifts up.
