I’m trying to set bars per system in my music score in Dorico 5. When I go into the casting off feature and change to 6 bars per system, there is no change in the score. Can’t figure out the problem!
Can you post the project file here?

In your Score layout, I see that you have Layout Options set for 6 systems per frame, but I think you want 6 bars per system – which is the option just above that.
You’ve also got manual frame breaks throughout the layout, which overrides whatever casting off options you’ve got set. You can see these by doing View > Signposts > toggle Hide Signposts.
If you go to Engrave mode and do Reset Layout, which deletes all those frame breaks, and then set the casting off option to 6 bars per system, Dorico will do what you want. (You will have to put back the manual staff visibility change in the first measure to hide the instruments after the drum set.
