I've got too much white space between systems but for the life of me I can't figure out how to move the systems closer together on the page (move everything closer to the top, basically). Please help!

Page Layout>Edit system margins, or Page Layout>(Drag the systems closer together)

Please add the program you're using to your signature, in the forum Control Panel.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I can't find Page Layout and there is no mention of that phrase in the help files.

Had I known you were using 2007, my answer would have been different: You can't. Layout cannot be adjusted.

SW 2007 was a lot like NotePad, and very limited. The new version, 2010, is much closer to PrintMusic in its features and capabilities. You really should consider an upgrade.
