Re: [Finale] Changing notes to cue notes after lyrics are added
Thanks! This is a very clever solution. Christopher Smith wrote: This solution might suck in different ways, but try opening the Edit Lyrics window, select all, and set font size to "fixed". Since I routinely use around 85% reduction for my staves, this means that if I previously had my lyrics at 14 points, they appeared to be closer to 12 points, so THAT is what I would have to use as my fixed font size. Repeat for other verses. Another thing you might try is leaving the Layer 2 notes in normal size, applying a Staff Style that blanks out Layer 2 but shows items attached (lyrics), then enter the notes in cue size in some other layer for show. So the lyrics are not actually attached to the notes that are shrunk. You can probably use the Change Layers option in Mass Edit for the layer-copying part of it. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I know it's possible to have lyrics be normal size with cue notes - all I have to do is change the notes to cue *before* I add the lyrics. Really? I thought the lyrics shrunk as soon as you changed note size, too. But, in this case, the measure has a lot of verses, and it may mean re-entering the whole measure. Is there an *easy* way to change a note size with lyrics attached without affecting the lyrics? Or am I stuck with re-entry of the measure?
