Hi:
I'm still a newbie and have searched the Learning, Glossary, & Notation but
cannot find the answers.
Because my eyesight is not so good anymore ( I'm in my '70s) I want to take
some of the lead sheets I have and make them larger.
Below is the one I am working on and there are 4 questions:
1. I want to make this large but global staff size is set to 23 which I believe
is the max
2. I want to only have 2 bars per line
3. I don't understand why there is a bar check in the lyrics at 1/8
4. why are there missing hyphens. I put them in the lyrics.
TIA for your help…
