For scaling I think the easiest way is to adjust it inside a score and save this score as template. Then you can load this custom template by creating a new score. In this dialogue specify the numbers of measures.
Alternatively save your settings as style and load it for other scores.
Or save it instead of in the template folder in your score folder and open it for other scores.
I'm not sure about your request about chords, are you talking about fretboard diagrams? If so, it's not possible to change the direction for it at time.

Thank you. I'll try that. It was the chord symbols I was referring to.

If I understand it correct, all these settings should be saved in a style. Also, if you're talking about the placement chord symbols above or below a staff, you can adjust it inside the inspector and define it as style there by clicking on the "S" there. This adjustment will also be saved into a custom style.

Did you read Jojo's comment? For the most of your settings you can adjust it for a single score. When you've finished it use Format->save as style... and add this style in edit->preferences...->score.

I know how to do that - I was trying to make this a continual set of settings. Someone suggested creating a template - that's what I'll have to do. Thanks.

A template sets 2 things, a set of instruments and a style. A style file sets just the latter
A template (as mentioned) or a style file (also mentioned), the latter can even get loaded by default, via Edit > Preferences > Score
