I'm afraid that if I don't say it, it might be taken away, like so many other 
things I came to count on. MakeMusic says they don't take away functionality, 
but it has happened many times.

The latest is resizing chord symbols. I used to be able to resize a chord 
symbol if I needed to (one or many) by attaching it to a hidden rest in another 
layer, then resizing the rest. The chord symbol would resize with it. Now that 
chords attach to beats (great innovation, BTW) I can't do that any more. The 
various built-in options for changing suffixes are next to useless, as the 
custom kerning of suffixes is not resized along with the fonts, and there is no 
way to preserve it. There is also not a convenient way to resize a chord name 
(the C in Cmaj7) while preserving the size of all the other chord names. 

Now I have to resort to a much kludgier technique of attaching the chord to a 
hidden STAFF and resizing THAT, then I have to make sure it is included in 
linked parts, adjust spacing, etc.
