To
set the font for
lyrics globally
This will set the default font for lyrics
you are about to enter. It will not change the font for lyrics already
entered in the score. See also Change
Fonts Plug-in.
- From the Document menu, choose Document Options
and select Fonts. The Font options appear. See Document
Options-Fonts for more details.
- From the popup menu for lyrics, select the lyric type you
want to change (Verse, Chorus, or Section).
- Click Set Font. The FontFont dialog
box appears.
- Select the type style you want for your lyrics.
Under normal circumstances, Finale scales the type size of lyrics
proportionally with the piece; if you reduce the music to half size (using
the Resize Tool), the lyrics also shrink to half size.
If you’d prefer to specify a fixed size
for the lyrics, so the text won’t vary with the size of the notes, select
the Fixed Size checkbox.
- Click OK (or press return)
twice. Use this method to set the primary font for your lyrics.
If there are occasional variations within this primary font, see To change fonts
within a lyric.
