I'm doing a string ensemble piece and with Vln I the time signature showed up huge like in the score, but then in Vln II it didn't show up at all? I had to reset the size manually for I but I can't figure out how to get it to show in II.

Also, Vln1 didn't show any instrument name - even though it's there in the score manager. Vln2 however has instrument name on each system. Is there a way to set this?

Time signatures, in Document Options, can be different (font, size) in the score and in the parts.

In Staff attributes of every staff, make sure that you check the box "Time Signature", check the box to display the staff name in the score but not in the part (otherwise it will show up in parts on every staff, like you mentioned).

Instrument/staff names can also appear as a text block.
Title Tool. Create a text, then Title menu -> Inserts -> Part/Score Name. It will display as "Score" in the score and as the staff name in each part.
