Anybody know if it's possible to set a different global font size for tempo markings in score and parts, before generating parts? The default is too small for the score, too large for the parts.

Thanks,
Tom

One idea that comes to mind:

Set the font size to Fixed Size.

Sorry but that's too brief to be helpful. Set it where? And after or before doing what?

Select "Expression tool", click on your score and from "Edit Categories..." set Text Font for the tempo and activate the box "Fixed Size".
13pt or 14pt Fixed Size would be fine.

When you enter this value press OK and then "Create Tempo Mark...".
Type the desire tempo and assign it.
