Norman. Reply appreciated.
The video shows how to change the title heading fonts but not NOTE & CHORD sizes...unless I'm missing something ?.

I will spend more time with MuseScore when I can....Thank you.

Under Style >> Text... you will see a long list of text items that you can adjust.
Below the Title & Composer, there is Lyrics Odd Lines and Lyrics Even Lines, and the Chord Symbols is much further down the same list.

FYI - changing the Lyrics size/style will default to the entire song.

You can change the size of just some of the words by selecting what you want to change, by un-checking the "Size follows 'staff spacing' setting" box. You can do the same thing to highlight just part of them (make some words 'bold' - or even 'underline' them).

In the same area you can also adjust (see Vertical Alignment) "where" the words are below the staff (default is close to the staff-second button from the right. But if you have a lot of low staff notes interfering with the words, you can select the button setting to the left of it, which will lower the words a bit).

Have fun!

Are you trying to reduce the note and chord size to get the score to fit on one page? If so, no need to reduce them individually or en bloc, just go to Format/Page Settings and, in the Scaling option, reduce the Stave space (defaults to 1.764 for A4) until your score shows as one page in the bottom Preview area.

Cheers

Bruce Breen. Thank you. I'll check through the settings as you suggest.
In FORMAT- Page Settings - Stave Space, does add addition page/pages as required to increase the overall print size.

frozzers.  NO. I want to increase the size (a little) of Notes & Chords.

Ah I see what you're trying to do.

Just increase the Stave space to make everything bigger.

Experiment with different sizes and when you're happy with a particular size, use that one each time.

Cheers
