Hello. I can’t figure out why these single bars of rest are taking up so much space by default. How should I go about solving this globally on all of my part layouts?
If you want to upload your project, someone can take a look.

The file is too large. Doesn’t allow me to upload anything more than 4MB on here.
I will note that this project copied a lot from a MusicXML file derived from a Finale file. Could this be related to the problem?
Try doing Play > Playback Template, apply the Silence template, and save as a new file.
MusicXML imports do often have odd things about them!

Perhaps.
You can also post links to projects in dropbox or sim. if that helps.

Has anyone suggested exporting the file again as a plain XML from Finale?
Would that be better? The problem is, I have already done a ton of work in Dorico after the copy and paste.
Here is the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13mR1bhUsacLPzsS3Q0P9wQHG4x8hplGp/view?usp=sharing
You could import it into a new Dorico file to see what it would give you. Then you could decide which version would cause less future work to continue.
This setting is the problem:
Dorico spaces single bar rests as multibar rests, unless you scroll down in this section, pop open the Advanced Options tab and alter this setting:
It looks as though you want a fixed H bar. If so, use a fixed H bar!
