Chord font size in jazz lead sheet template
I want to change the chord size in one measure only. I have a measure with six chords and it gets crowded. Is this possible? When I try to change the size of these six chords they disappear.

Have you considered re-barring the piece, perhaps one fewer bar in that system, or, if you want to preserve the lay-out, using "shrink and stretch" on those bars?
In reply to Have you considered by xavierjazz
is at two bars and the bar in question is stretched to its max.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is any direct way to do that. I suppose you could create a second lead sheet, add the chord there, save it as a graphic, manipulate it in your favorite graphics editor, and then dag & drop that into your score.
I think you should submit a feature request in the issue tracker.

Create a second lead sheet with the chords the size that I'd like, then save it as a (*png). This is where I'm confused. Then open it in, say, Photoshop and then make a vector out of it and drag it back into the score? Doesn't Musescore only accept (*mscz) files? I don't follow how I'd get the manipulated graphic back into the score.
In reply to I almost follow what you're suggesting by Splops
Youn can drag and drop any PNG file into an open score, and it will appear like any other marking. See Image in the Handbook.

I get this message:

You'd have to drag the file itself (like from a file browser window), not the image from within Photoshop. And it has to be PNG or JPEG.

Thank you, Marc.
