Re: Fixing a font size

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Unfortunately you're right, this does not work.

Now I am at a loss as to how I can scale my staff size without also scaling,
(messing up), my headings?

Any suggestions?  Anyone?  On how to keep the headings fixed and allow all
the music below it to "flow and scale" as needed?

thanks
Rick
