To change the distance between systems

1. Click the Page Layout Tool  . Dotted-line margins appear around each system.
2. From the Page Layout menu, choose Systems, then Edit Margins. The Edit System Margins dialog box appears.
3. In the Change section, click Select All. In other words, you want the change you’re about to make to affect every system in the piece. Make sure Distance Between Systems is checked and uncheck all other boxes. We don’t want to make all of the margins the same, just the distance between systems.
4. In the Distance Between Systems text box, enter a new value. This value is measured in whatever your Measurement Units are set to. See the Document menu for details. If you prefer, you can click within any system and drag instead of typing numbers.
5. Click Apply. If you like what you see, click Close. You’ve just changed the amount of space between every system in the piece. In so doing, you may also have changed the number of systems able to fit on a page. (The bottom text box governs the amount of extra space below each system.)

Finale initially won’t let you enter negative values, so that a system overlaps the system above it. If you really want to create this cluttered effect, turn off Avoid Margin Collisions by choosing it from the Page Layout menu, so that a check mark no longer appears.
