Edit Font Styles dialog

In the Edit Font Styles dialog, you can change certain aspects of fonts used for items that you cannot edit using the text editor, such as changing the font size of bar numbers.

  • You can open the Edit Font Styles dialog in Engrave mode by choosing Engrave > Font Styles.

The Edit Font Styles dialog contains fonts that are used in Dorico that you cannot edit directly in the music area, unlike text in text frames, which you can edit using the text editor.
