I've wasted almost a full day on this, can't find the answer in 2006
manual or an old-version hard-copy manual...everything seems to apply
to font settings prior to typing lyrics, not changing the size after
the lyrics have been entered.
I've been given a Finale file and apparently when the lyric font was
set, "fixed" was not specified. As a result, when the systems, etc.
shrink, the Times lyrics do as well. I tried Scaling fonts and that
did not work. The original file was set for three hymnal-size sheets;
I've converted it to one letter-size sheet. When that happened, the
lyrics became too small.
Select the lyrics tool, choose "edit lyrics" from the drop down menu to
open the lyrics dialog box. Select all the lyrics in the dialog box by
means of your favorite method, and select the "text" item from the menu
bar of the "edit lyrics" dialog box. Choose "font", to open the font
selection window, and this should open the font dialog box, wherein you
should see the option to define the font as "fixed"size.
Be forewarned, though, that three pages of octavo size music spaced to
fit a single letter size sheet may not fit the single sheet if the
lyrics font size is fixed.
