What it does

This dialog box lets you set the primary font to the one you most often use, but will not change text already entered.

Maestro, a music font provided with NotePad, is the default font for the musical symbol elements.

Lyrics: Set Font. Click Set Font to specify the default font, size and style for lyrics. Lyrics already entered will change to this font.
Text: Set Font. Click Set Font to specify the default font, size and style for text blocks. Future text blocks will use this font.
Music. The music font used for the currently open file will be displayed here, although you cannot change the default music font in NotePad. If you open a file created in PrintMusic, Allegro, or Finale, the file may have a music font other than Maestro.
OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to undo, the font changes you’ve made, and return to the score.
