These instructions show you how to resize one notehead or one beamed group of notes. If you want to create cue notes (by resizing a longer region of notes), however, see Cue notes. See also See also Resize Noteheads Plug-in.

To reduce or enlarge selected notes (or noteheads)

1. Enter the music at normal size.
2. Click the Resize tool  .
3. To change the size of a notehead, click it. To change the size of the entire entry group—the note or chord, stem, flag, lyric, articulations, and any notes beamed to it—click the stem (of the first note in the group). The Resize dialog box appears.
4. Enter the desired reduction or enlargement value. The number you enter here is a percentage of the full-size notes, so 200 (%) would result in a double-size note.
5. Click OK (or press RETURN). The note (or entry group) is now resized. To restore the notes to normal size, repeat the process, but change the number to 100% in the Resize dialog box and click OK.
