Being a Finale user for decades, I have never had this much trouble changing the font and size for the title. How do I make the text box big enough so part of my title is not cut off? Also, how do I make it so that title of all of the instrument parts look like the score?
I have poked a lot of menus and buttons but so far have not found any solution. It is so easy in Finale.
Thanks in advance.

The First Steps document is a good starting place -
Especially the section about page templates and tokens.
There is also an excellent Discover Dorico video - you can look at the time stamps to see the sections you’re most interested in.

You may want to edit your page templates by increasing the frame if you need extra large font size.
You can adjust the size of the title in the library/paragraph style/title.
Each part is its own layout so adjust the layout options and page templates for each layout to match accordingly.
Easiest: just drag the text frame handles in Engrave mode, after selecting the “Frames” Tool.
Pro: Make sure you’re in the Page Template editor, rather than page 1 itself.
Don’t just poke around. Learn how things work first. There are countless videos, tutorials and documentation.
Hmmmmmmm. 
Familiar, perhaps.
One other thing:
By default, Dorico vertically centres the text in a text frame. If there’s too much text for the frame, then the top and bottom will be cut off.
Changing the Vertical Alignment of the Text Frame (in the Properties panel) to Top may be easier, as you can then adjust the size of your frame to fit more easily.
