Songtext
Hi
Is't possible to enlarge songtext for one particular voice in a score for mixed choir. I would like to make a bigger text for one of the tenors who is visually impaired. For example, the text of the chorus. Now, when I try to do this all others text of the odd and even lines change with.
Is there the possibility to realize this?
For you help a lot of thank you.
Martin.

@martdullens, workarounds:
- Right click, Select all similar elements (same stave);
F8 (Inspector) set as subtitle.

I would like to make a score where only one voice have a text size of for example 22pp and all the other oices 12 pp. it is possible word for word but with a larger score very difficult/laborius.
I also have tried to select that part in the score that I needed to expance an then Chose text style even and/or Odd line but then all the text changes from the even and / or odd rules.
But I keep trying to find a solution for this.
Thanks foor your support.

The method I suggested below works perfectly. You may need to select the selected voice to avoid voice 2 lyrics from being affect. It depends on what you want.

Follow Mike's advice, alternatively the lyrics modified in 'Subtitle' (22). But you'll have to find a balance between font size and layout.
Edit: with melisma and dashes

Hi,
Right, I get it. But there is still one problem, now the hyphens are no longer between the words. Spo you can see as you can see in the appendix. How can I solve that?
Thank foor your support,
Martin.

That's why I attached *...Ter.
At the end of the syllables I used Ctrl (right)+ -
Check out this old How To: https://musescore.org/en/node/21522
Create a custom text style (in Style->Text->New) based upon the Lyrics Odd Lines (and also Even Lines if there's more than one verse) and change the font size. Select the staff and right click a lyric in that verse and use select>more... and use the check boxes to select the lyrics in that verse in the selection and click OK. In the inspector, There is a dropdown next the "Style:" Click that and the bottom option should be the text style you defined, select that and all of the selected text will set to your custom text style.
