It seems that Dorico isn’t taking the space occupied by figured bass into account when allotting vertical space to a page, as illustrated by this screen-shot:
Note that the page shows as 170% full! Also the flow heading frame after the first line is not being taken into account as it would usually be: you have to look carefully to even see it, crammed as it is next to a 6/4 figure!
I haven’t done any manual frame breaks yet, so as to illustrate the problem. Of course I could, and likely will anyhow, not only to resolve the crowding but also to manage page turns etc. But Dorico is usually so splendid in vertical formatting: am I missing some obvious setting? I fooled around with vertical spacing settings in Layout options, without effect.
What are your last settings in Vertical spacings>Ideal gaps?

Inter-system gaps were 6. I just set them to 20 to see what would happen and voila! problem solved. Thanks; I had tried to do something with that but not a large enough change to help.

The very last setting could help too, even with smaller inter system gap (minimal gap between elements from two adjacent systems, I don’t remember the exact wording. Default is 2 spaces, it looked smaller in your file)
True enough; actually the very last setting is the inter-system gap; the one I believe you’re referring to is the 2nd-last: Minimum inter-system gap with content. In my situation 3 1/2 and 7 worked fine.

Those settings are usually much smaller in Full scores, but I find parts can be using bigger values with success!
