I'm looking for all the notes in layer 2 to be resized to 50%. Is there a quick way to resize all notes in this layer, or is my only option to resize each note individually?

Thanks,
Brian

1) Selection Tool.

2) Switch to Layer 2.

3) Document menu > Show Active Layer Only (select this)
(Show Active Layer Only also means Edit Active Layer Only)

4) Select the region to be resized.

5) Utilities menu > Change > Note Size…
(Only Layer 2 will be resized)

When you are done, you can de-select Show Active Layer Only.

Or, you can use JW Change, which lets you quickly select the notes and layers.
