You need to go to Housestyle > Engraving rules. There's a list of 20 items which you use to switch between pages of the dialog. Choose instruments. Tab round and you'll find three combo boxes, each of which contains three options. These are, "full", "short", and "none". The first combo box determines which name will appear to the left of the first system on page 1. The second box determines the name which will appear on all subsequent systems. The third box determines which name will be used at the start of new sections. All instruments which come with Sibelius should have a short name, which is the one to use on subsequent systems.

But memory serves: 1. Instrument names and locations should be in the layout menu under something like document or default position 2. Bar numbers are something you can select from the Create menu, or a plug-in. Good luck.
