Hi. recent convert from Finale. I want the parts to be smaller - ie. more systems per page. and smaller overall. In Finale I would scale the system size. (80% to 72%) How would I do this in Dorico?
Thanks!
Layout options right panel >select all parts (little button with a music stand icon at the bottom of the right panel of options), then Page Setup >spacing size, choose a higher rastral size number, but beware : musicians shall be able to read… I wouldn’t go higher than rastral size 4 (the higher this number, the smaller the staves)

In Dorico, your first port of call is Layout Options. As Marc says, you can select multiple layouts and change the same option in all of them at once.
I’d agree that you don’t want to go too small. You can also reduce the Note Spacing, which will get more notes/bars on each system; and you can reduce the inter-system gap, all without changing the size of the staff.
