increase font size
I've seen help topics trying to help people increase font size which didn't help me do that.
I'm running musescore 3.2.3.7635. But text properties, but right click shows me only staff/part and measure properities which don't show text properties. Where's that?
also I find no menu "Style / Edit Text Style / Staff". Under Format / style I see "text line" which lets you set X/Y values for position, which doesn't help.

Don't read the 2.x handbook when looking for information about 3.x..
Format > Style > Text styles might what you're looking for. Or the Inspector and the size settings for text, and the S (Set as Style) button next to it

format - style - text styles, being the last choice in the left-most menu opens a middle menu with ~40 choices and implies an ability to make changes using the right-most panel. That worked to change size of TITLE as 1st choice in middle menu. But it did not work to change size of lyrics, trying "text-line" and "Lyrics odd/even" and "repeat text" with no effect.
When you say Inspector and Set as Style button - I don't see those on this "Style" page - is it somewhere else?

Inspector: See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/inspector
As mentioned, seems you have a vertsion mismatch between the documentation you are looking at (which is extremely old) and the actual version fo the software you are using. But, 3.2.3 is also several years old. Best to update to the current version - 3.6.2 - and use the current documentation (what you see on this website under Support / Handbook).

Thanks, my version has been updated to 3.6.2 and problem of text size seems to be solved. I'll try remembering not to google-search for a problem but use musescore program under Support / Handbook

You can even download a copy of the handbook as pdf:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook
and search (locally) within the pdf.

That PDF is pretty outdated though, the automatic nightly generation broke more than a year ago, see #328598: PDF handbook generation stopped working

Thanks, that's good to know.
MuseScore version 3.6.2 was released Feb. 2021. The PDF handbook is dated June 2021. In the interim, the software version has never changed, so the PDF content is likely still relevant.

The online handbook has been further improved and extended meanwhile, so the PDF us outdated.

Of course, but since both handbooks are for ver. 3.6.2, they share the same content. Any improvements and extensions to the online handbook do not explain, for instance, any brand-new program features not contained in the PDF.
Punctuation/spelling corrections and page/paragraph/image shuffling of the online manual may make the PDF "outdated" but not completely useless or irrelevant. Also, PDF searchability is easier.
The OP's menu item: "Style / Edit Text Style / Staff" appears in neither of the MuseScore 3 manuals (online or PDF). Actually, and ironically, it seems that reading the online 2.x manual is what tripped up the OP.

Wow! Interesting format in that link - like seeing a score in "Single Page" view.
