It's possible make smaller DYNAMICS (Expression tool) and to customize it?
I mean to make smaller only them,without affecting the size of other expressions, and for all the scores I'll open in the future.
I appreciate your help

Dynamics are in their own category. Read up on the Category Designer in the manual.
After changing the size, you can save a template, or save a library. I'll leave you to read up on those in the manual.

I don't get it yet.
1. Choose the Expression tool , and double-click a note or measure. The Expression Selection dialog box appears.
2. Click Edit Categories. Or, choose Document > Category Designer.
3. Dynamics/ I substitute 12 for 24
4. OK
...but...I don't see any difference in size. Size is the same as before, 12
Something wrong in step 3?

Click Edit Categories, then click the Music Font button. It should say "Maestro 24pt". You want the dynamics just a little smaller, don't you? Try 23pt or 22pt.jose oscar wrote:2. Click Edit Categories.

Thank you very much,Grossingink and Buontempi,
I see now what I was doing wrong: I was clicking Text Font instead of MUSIC FONT.
So the right route is:
1. Choose the Expression tool , and double-click a note or measure. The Expression Selection dialog box appears
2. Click Edit Categories. Or, choose Document > Category Designer
3. Dynamics/ Music Font/18 (in my case)
4. OK
