System track placement in Galley view

I am new to Dorico. The system track is 2-3 inches above the top instrument staff in Galley view, even though there is nothing in that staff to push it up. I need the system track to show, but I also need that unused white space to show more staves in a Concert Band work. (I saw that DS replied in 2019 that it wasn’t able to be changed; has it been fixed in 2024?)

Welcome to the forum, @johncomposer. I’m afraid there have been no changes in the positioning or placement of the system track.

Thank you Daniel (and it’s an honor). Is there anything I can do to bring that system track a bit closer to the top stave of music? It’s just a lot of unused space!

Thanks Mark!

I’m afraid not, no. There’s no option to configure this at present.
