Fingering attached to grace notes is now too small. A change was made in MS 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 to proportionally scale down fingering size for small notes/chords. Clearly, this should not have been applied to grace notes.

Oops.
See #312029: Fingering is too small on small notes / chords. This is currently by design, by user request over the years that as many markings as possible scale with note size. An argument can be made that fingerings should be exempt, but it is crucial that this be discussed in the public forum first before any further changes are considered.

Absolutely. I would suggest a new property that allows users to specify the percentage scaling of text elements to small notes, so that text is kept readable.
