I have a finale file generated from SmartScore and 4 measures of one staff (out of 5 staves total) in the middle of the piece are sized much larger than the rest - larger font for the lyrics, larger note size, larger clef sign, thicker bar lines, etc.  The measures before and after are just like the rest of the document, presumably using the default styling.  Is there a way to make the styling the match the rest of the piece?  I've tried changing the note size with so-so results.  I would delete the measures from that staff and replace them but that option is disabled and I'd rather not have to re-enter all 5 staves.

I'm using  Finale 26.0.1.706 on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.2

thanks!

Have you tried using the Resize Tool (%) to choose the entire staff and setting the size to 100% to see if that makes all measures the same staff size?

 

If the five measures are all in one system, the perhaps the system sizes need to be regularized/.

thanks - the resize tool worked!  I had to be careful where to click - the first few tries had the resize dialog box offer to resize the whole page or a just a note, but once I clicked a spot within the staff (that wasn't a note or a rest or the clef...) of the first affected measures with the (%) tool it brought up the staff resize dialog and I was able to set it to 100% (down from 190%) which corrected the overly large measures.
