Cue Notes plugin problems
When I try to use the Cue Notes plugin rather than the notes becoming smaller, they actually become larger. I'm sure there is a setting to correct this but I don't know where it is. How can I get this plugin to work properly?

Notes become larger when you run that plugin against notes that are small already
Also, the plugin simply sets the "small" property for notes, but what "small" means depends on your style settings. If you go to Style / Edit General Style / Sizes and see "Small note size" set to something bigger than 100%, that would do it as well.

Whioch is a bit strange, as the plugin sets the chord to small, not the note. Notes don't have a small property, only chords

True. What this really says is that the dialog is a big mislabeled; it should say "Small chord size", not "Small note size". For 2.0, both chords and notes have a small property as you know, but they share the same setting. I believe it's the same setting that is also used for accidentals and perhaps other elements too.

Thanks Marc. I found that solution and it worked. Of course, it changed some other things I wanted bigger (that I used Small note size to make bigger) to a smaller size on those staff lines but I can live with that.
(It appears that I can't just change the Small note size in a single measure which would help fix that problem. I was using Small note size to enlarge the diamond note heads at the end of the piece during a fermata measure.) Any ideas on that issue would be helpful.

Seeing the actual score would help. The diamond heads are mostly normally used for harmonics, I believe, and it's normal that they would be small. Are you trying to do something else?
Whatever you might be trying to accomplish, generally, I would not recommend setting small note size bigger than 100%. There are any number of places in the code where it's probably assumed that small notes really are smaller than normal.
