For reasons unknown to me, the treble clef is much larger than the bass clef in measures 19-21, system 6 (see attached file). How can I resize just the treble clef in the affected measures so that all clefs are the same size:

I am using Finale 2014.5 on a Windows 10 desktop.

It's not just the treble clef, it's the whole staff on that system, notes and all. Do you really want that? Other staves and systems are resized variously from 115% to 118%. You can fix this with the resize tool.

Thank you for your reply.

I want all note sizes and clef sizes to be identical in the whole song. I tried the resize tool, but that only affected the notes, not the clef.

It's kind of maddening but keep clicking in difference places between notes and you'll get it. Start in the first measure so you can do the whole piece as shown, once for each of the two staves.

For some reason you are resizing the staves themselves. This is unnecessary - leave them at 100%. If you want the music to appear larger or smaller on the page, resize the page percentage. Click in the corner of the page with the resize tool and select a smaller or larger percentage.

I changed the sizing on the attached file - take a look and see if it makes sense.
