I was messing with the change notesize feature and decided I like how my music looks and prints out at 90%, but that reduction also reduces the size of the lyrics font. How can I work around that to keep the lyrics at their original font size?

Thanks all!

You can change the size of the lyric fonts in the lyrics menu/edit lyrics

Options Menu
Documents Options
Fonts
Lyrics
Verse, etc
Set font
Click the checkbox "Fixed size"

This will affect the future entries, not the lyrics already entered.
If necessary, use the "Change Fonts" Plug-in to globally change the size of what you have already entered to a larger font size.
