I don't know why there is an enormous space between systems on certain pages

My other pages look normal. I don’t know how to adjust the gap.

Dude…
Really? Not even a screenshot…?

Yes, some evidence would be very helpful…

In any case, it could be due to your justification settings, see Layout Options > Vertical Spacing

I may be wrong, but I strongly suspect the issue is here:

Sorry Daniel I didn’t read your post until the end!

Well, the solution needs some study, anyway…

I uploaded something. I guess I did it wrong. Anyway, I found a fix.

Can I suggest something that took me a while to understand? You can often fix these issues by adjusting the frame size in Engrave mode. Click on the blue border and slide the bottom margin up a bit and you might see things fall into place automatically. I really dud not understand this at all, having come from Finale. Now that I do, life is much easier!

Essentially, by making the frame smaller, you’re making the contents a larger percentage of the frame’s size; thus going over the thresholds as shown in the diagram above.

And, iirc, you’re creating page overrides, which are really bad. Like, as in: BAD… :wink:
Because they effectively lock the page in place and prevent a lot of Dorico’s automagical formatting wizardry from happening. Trust me, you don’t want that!
I know it’s very satisfying to have that kind of instant gratification, but do yourself a favor and study Ben’s PDF above and then edit those percentages in order to make changes.

And buyer beware: this approach creates page overrides, which can then cause problems down the road if you decide to change your layout in any way.

Edit: @YourMusic.Pro beat me!
