Lyrics text size
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2020 8:17 am
Hi!
Almost everywhere in Finale I can set text size with comma separated values; ex: 10,5
But Lyrics text does not allow me to do that. Any workaround or plugins that can help me with that?
Normally I do not need so spesific sizes, but now I am working on a project where I have a layout, that demands the Lyric to be as small as possible, but NOT TOO small. I am using the Font: Palatino Linotype. The size 10 is too small, the size 11 gives me somewhat trouble with the spacing, and because of that, also the readability. In this particular case I desperately need Finale to give me the size of 10,5 in the Lyrics.
The music is going to fit into the size of an A5 booklet layout style, and it is also going be published.
The font type used in the rest of the booklet, is Palatino, so I need to keep that font in Finale too.
I have to add that I have worked a lot with resizing the music up and down in combination with different sizes of the lyrics, both fixed and not. I can not reduce the music more than I have it now, if so, it will not look good.
Any suggestions?
