Hi, I sometimes set an accompanist's copy (merging/separating the pedal, unfolding repeats, improving pageturns etc) and reduce the pagecount by shrinking the vocal parts. The lyrics say it all: I'm perplexed as to why they remain at full size in just the last fragment. The notes shrink, as does the instrumentName, but not the lyrics.
Cheers, David.
