Font Changing
I can't figure this out. On the program, how do you permanently change the size of the font for the lyrics? For example, I am writing out Mary had a Little Lamb for my cousin. Because it is a short song, I want it to fill up the whole page. The set size of the font is size 11. If I was to change the first word of the song (Mary) to size 20, it would work. For the next word (had) the set font size would be 11. I would like for all of the words to be at a font size of 20 without having to change the font size for every single word. I'm not sure how to do that. Please help! Thank you so much.

See Style / Edit Text Style. This is where you set the overall defaults for each type of text. Unfortunately, you generally have to do this *before* you create the text, so if you've already entered the lyrics, this might not help. For text that is already create, you can right click one element, choose "text properties" from the menu that appears, make your change in that dialog, and clikc the "apply to all similar" box at the bottom. Doesn't work for all types of text, though.
Since this is such a short song, I'd recommend just deleting any lyrics you've already entered (right click one, "select all similar", hit Delete), then making your text style change, then entering the lyrics again.
Something else to consider - do you eally wan tthe music to stay small but have the lyrics get big? Might be better to just increase the size of everything all at once. That is done by Layout / Page Settings / Scaling. The "space" parameter there is the actual diaance between staff lines. As you increase that, everything else on the page increases correspondingly.
