Considering lyrics....
Lyrics on an 80% page with 100% systems would be 80% of 12 points (for
example), right? (In other words, the 100% system setting does not stop the
lyrics from being reduced by the page reduction. Or am I wrong?) Return the
page to 100% they go to full 12 point but reduce the system to 75% and they
reduce along with it, thus ending up smaller than they were under 80% page
reduction. Right? Those of you that use system reduction, did you compensate
for this and what size if so.
Yes, this is correct. All staff-attached elements reduce/enlarge with system reduction; i.e. expressions, articulations, and, yes, lyrics. If 12-point lyrics is your preference with 80% page reduction, they will be in the same proportion to the staff at 75% system reduction.
As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), pretty much the only things that don't resize with system scaling are page-attached text blocks... and why would you want the title, composer, copyright, etc. to change size just because you want to resize the music? In my opinion, system scaling gives the most flexibility, especially given the fact that you can fine-tune smaller sections (meaning individual systems rather than a whole page-- if you ever feel the need, that is).
