On the attached pages, you can see that "Hpschd" appears on page 2 too far to the left. I know how
to drag each system individually, but I don't know how to move all the systems (starting with page 2) with one step. Thanks.

Document -> Page Format -> Score : redefine the system margins and to apply them, Page Layout tool -> Redefine Pages -> All pages
That's one way. Another one would be to reposition the first system of page 2 (or the second system of page 1) the way you like (with correct margins), select it and go to the Page Layout Tool -> Systems -> Edit Margins (enter from 2 or 4 to blank)

musicus,
I am not sure I understand.
Take a look at the attached Finale document.
Is this what you need?

Not quite getting it. When I go to Page format for score/System margins/left, I tried changing it from 0 to 1 but nothing happens. See attached.

Open the Finale document I attached.
Then,
Document menu > Page Format > Score…
You can see that I have changed the default values in Page Format for Score.
The dialog box Page Format for Score sets the default formatting for new pages/systems.
Already existing pages are not affected.
To update the already existing pages with the new defaults I used the Page Layout Tool:
Page Layout menu > Redefine Pages > All Pages

I'm a He, not a She (Michel in a masculine first name in French )
By the way, in my reply, you missed the "Redefine Pages" step.

I have compared the Page format you did versus the one I attached very carefully, and the only difference I see in the settings is your new distance between systems. I don't see what see what adjustment you made that made your attachment look good. In your example, there is adequate distance between "Hpschd" and the page edge. In mine there is not. What am I missing here??
