With this technique, you can scale every occurrence of a certain font that’s used in your document to a larger or smaller font size, no matter what size was used in each occurrence. For example, you could tell Finale to scale every occurrence of New York 24-point down to 12-point. In so doing, Finale would also scale New York 36-point down to 18-point, and New York 10-point down to 5-point.

To change every occurrence of a font to a different size

1. Choose Document > Data Check > Font Utilities. In the dialog box that appears, you can instruct Finale to search for a specific font, style and size and then replace it with the same font of a different size. All occurrences of this font will change in size proportionally.
2. Specify the font, style and size you want changed and click OK (or press RETURN).
3. Specify the percentage you want the specified font to be scaled to. If you want text included as part of a shape expression scaled, make sure “Scale Fonts in Shapes” is checked.
4. Click OK.
