This will set the default font for lyrics you are about to enter. It will not change the font for lyrics already entered in the score. See also Change Fonts Plug-in.

To set the font for lyrics globally

1. Choose Document > Document Options > Fonts. The Font options appear. See Document Options-Fonts for more details.
2. From the drop-down menu for lyrics, select the lyric type you want to change (Verse, Chorus, or Section).
3. Click Set Font. The Font dialog box appears.
4. Select the type style you want for your lyrics. Under normal circumstances, Finale scales the type size of lyrics proportionally with the piece; if you reduce the music to half size (using the Resize tool), the lyrics also shrink to half size.

   If you’d prefer to specify a fixed size for the lyrics, so the text won’t vary with the size of the notes, select the Fixed Size check box.

5. Click OK (or press ENTER) twice. Use this method to set the primary font for your lyrics. If there are occasional variations within this primary font, see To change fonts within a lyric.
