The JSON values are used when you check the option to use the font's defaults, in the Music Fonts dialog.

Otherwise, Dorico uses the values in Engraving Options, which may be different.

I've thickened up some of these values (including bar lines), any improvement? I included a part with more ledger lines to better show the change.

RE: time signatures, the extra size is on purpose (a hold over from working with musical theatre books, where it is an essential feature).

It's better, but you want to make sure it's evenly darker - now elements like the hairpins and bar numbers seem too thin in comparison. I would also even out the slurs by thickening the ends slightly but thinning the centre
