How do I make music smaller?

I want to be smaller so all the notes fit and don't overlap. I have already tried using the style.

The noteheads already look like they were made small. For instance, your notes in the spaces don't fill the entire staff space.
So...
What 'overlap' are you concerned about? The crescendo and dynamic marks?
If this is what you mean, you can adjust their positions either by dragging; or for a more precise method, by adjusting the offset positioning using the Inspector.

If you need to adjust space between staves or systems, see:

The notes may just be set to "small", that would look like this example. I'd check that first (checkbox in inspector) and set them to normal size, i.e. the box unchecked.

Other than that it seems to me the biggest problem is the staves are way too close to each other; no room for dynamic and other markings. Can be adjusted under "style-general-page".

After that adjust the location of the markings as recommended above and finally the scale factor if you need to fit into a certain format.
