Make staff itself bigger
I need to make the size of the staff itself bigger -- not the space between the staves, but the size of the staff (how much space there is between each line and space). I'm using it for my elementary school classroom, and it's simply not large enough. Help!

I tried that and it didn't seem to make a difference on the screen. Does that only show when printing?

Afterwards you may have to tweak other parameters (e.g. system distance) to refine the score.

This give more space between the staves. I'm writing very simple songs with one staff for 1st graders. I don't need more space between the staves, I need the staff itself to be bigger. Instead of being roughly 1" tall, I want the staff to be 3" tall with the first space of the staff being wider and taller.

If you change the spatium everything will grow, including the space between staves. But you can make it smaller in style -> Edit General style -> Page -> System distance. Find a template attached.

Ok, that solves it. Now how do I move the staff closer to the title so there's not so much dead air between the title and the staff?

By making the frame containing the title smaller, you can reduce the space between the title and the staff. Double click on the frame and drag the 'handle'.

Go to ...Format>Page Settings>Scaling. Where it says "Staff Spacing" you can tweak the little arrows up and down. There's a preview of what the page will look like in the lower left. Same problem. I discovered it's best to adjust the staff size before inputting any notes. When I try to adjust after note input it automatically makes 2 measures take up a whole line and you end up having to deal with all sorts of other layout issues.
