Hi all.

Looooong long time Finale user, starting to work in Sibelius. I am pulling my hair out because the current document I'm working on, in all of the individual parts, has giant white spaces at the top of all of the pages. I can't drag the systems up there or anything. Is there something I need to adjust somewhere to fix this? It seems like a margin issue perhaps? Thank you!

Hard to tell without looking at the score. Have you tried unlocking the format (Cmd Shift U), and Optimise? You may have to to recreate the individual parts again.

Open document setup and set the page and staff margins to something sensible!
