It sounds like you have not applied any music spacing routines. That's one of the things they are good for. Click Mass Mover tool > Select All (Edit menu or key combo) > press the 3 key (beat spacing) or 4 key (note spacing; this is what I use) > Update Layout. This will adjust everything to account for all elements, including lyrics.
Don't mess with Fit Music or changing fonts to try and help this. In fact, you need to return everything to how you originally had it before doing what you did, then do the above routine. There is a natural limit, of course, to what Finale can do in terms of making room for lyrics on staves that simply have too many measures in them. Hopefully your eye will tell you that, as other elements will look a little crowded also. --Richard > From: Rodney Waterman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > [FinWin 2k3a]Vocal Score: > How do I change fonts for text when, after Fit Music and Resize Page > operations, the Lyrics become crowded and overlap?
