Importing MusicXML (from Finale)
Brand new here. Switching from Finale, and have all my stuff in musicxml format. Are there any "import settings" in MuseScore that I could 'tweak' to bring my music into MuseScore in the most seamless manner?
Or is it more like "open up the next song, and make the edits you need for each song, then open the next ..."?
So far it's all pretty good, but MuseScore is bringing in my music with altered spacing between staffs, larger gaps between the Song Title and the music, overlapping words on my song credit lines, etc....

Layout will be different, MusicXML isn't good at keeping that and doesn't even claim to.

AFAIK, not during a MusicXML import. But you can certainly apply a Style file after the import.
Menu option: Format > Lod Style
You will have to spend some time making any required changes to a default Style file, but it's worth it because you only have to make those changes once. Then save your new Style file to the default location.

Thanks, Daniel, just the kind of thing I was looking for.
