In a score with parts change some text's size via the text tool in score

expected: it changes in score only

actualy: sema text changes in part too

This does not happen when changing it's color
It also does not happen when changing the size in the text stly of that particular text type.

See https://musescore.org/en/node/107801#comment-486146

To be verified whether master is affected too, 2.0.3 for sure is.

If I am understanding correctly, it's not a bug. *Properties* of text are not normally shared betwene score and text, so changing size of the text element as a whole using the Text Properties dialog will not be shared, but the *content* of the text is shared. So changing the content of the text, from "this is a sentence" to "this is not a sentence" or to "this is a LARGE word within a sentence" *will* be shared. Setting the size of the entire text to large using the text toolbar is no different from using it to set just one word large - either way, youv'e changed the *content of the text, not its *properties*.

I tried it and verified it works as expected. Changing the size property for the text element as a whole using Text Properties is not shared but changing any aspect of the contet - including the formatting applied via the text toolbar. This is correct behavior.

I see, so to allow something like e.g. a lyrics to look like "2. Some", i.e. style chnages within a single text element.
Doing it for the entire element via the text tool being the special case and not the same thing as doing it via the right-click text properties menu.
This at least explains the current behavoir, still to me the content (of text) is the letters and the letters only, not whether they are small, superscript or italic or Arial, this is style or representation, not content to me.
