You really should take the time to read

https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fin ... LAYOUT.htm

in its entirety, but basically you want "edit system margins" where you can specify the distance between systems. Since your top margin is so large, a distance of 0 will probably be OK (you can change margins there, too).

Thank you, motet.

By the way I edited the name of the Subject, as it's 2 SYSTEMS (and not 2 Staves) PER PAGE

I made the same mistake in the description above (which I've fixed).

Thank you very much, motet.

Now it's ok. This is the route:

1. Page Layout menu

2. Page Layout > Systems > Edit Margins

3. Check Distance between systems: 0 (in my case)
System 1 Thru: All

4. Apply
