Whatever values you enter into the Page Format>Parts dialogue only take effect on NEW parts. To see those values applied, you would have to select the Page Layout tool, then in the menu Redefine Parts...

Save this method for your default file, though. There is an easier way, below, for one-off adjustments.

It would be much easier, though, in the Page Layout tool to show the dialogue box Edit System Margins. I hope this box is self- explanatory, but just know that you can check and uncheck which items you want to apply to which range. For what you want to do, I usually uncheck everything except Distance Between Systems and apply it to systems 2 to [blank] which will apply it to system 2 to the end. If I want it to apply to other parts, too, there is a box for that in more recent versions of Finale, but I don't know about 2007.

What values to I need to plug in in order to get my extracted parts to have 9 systems/page?

I have been trying this trial and error method:

I used Set-Up Wizard's Brass Quintet template and am trying to customize it to my liking. When I try to extract a part from this "dummy" template, I get only 8 systems/page. I enter different values into the "Document/page format/parts to see if anything changes in the part, but so far, nothing....

Am I going about my trial and error the wrong way? What is the best way to SEE the changes in page format and find what I like best?
