  1. Looks like it will be too tight no matter how much manual adjustment you do. You might wanna try a smaller staff size. Go to Layout options (cmd+shift+L) and you’ll find ‘Space Size’. Make sure the right layout is selected in the left hand panel.
    You should also check out the ‘Copy staff spacing’ function which you’ll find in the left hand panel in Engrave mode. This will let you copy manual adjustments from one page to multiple others.

  2. Here’s a short explanation of the compressed xml format. Shouldn’t make a difference.

  3. I think you may find some info on this here and here
