Spacing Between Percussion Kit Labels

[four10music]

I’m trying to make smaller the space between name of the Percussion Kit and the instruments used, as well as the two lines of instruments. I’ve tried adjusting in Setup, but nothing has worked. This is also a custom score and not the full one.

Depends, how did you create the labels? And welcome to the forum.

Thanks!

I went to the “Edit Names” under the Percussion Kit.

OK, try to reduce the leading value with all the text selected. (where it says 70% in the picture below) and possibly the baseline above it. Also might be worth trying with another font.

Hi @four10music, you are using Finale Maestr…(?) font. Try using Academico (which is the factory font in Dorico): it has a better leading (you don’t need to correct the leading at all probably):
