You can change the size of all string indicators inside the staff project-wide; for example, if you want them to appear closer in size to string indicators outside the staff. You can also change whether or not they appear smaller on grace notes.

By default, string indicators inside the staff are scaled down to reduce their impact on note spacing and general readability, and are proportionally scaled down further on grace notes.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. In the category list, click String Indicators.
  3. In the Design section, change the value for Scale factor for string indicators inside the staff.
  4. Activate/Deactivate Scale string indicators on grace notes.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The size of string indicators inside the staff is changed project-wide. They appear smaller on grace notes when Scale string indicators on grace notes is activated, and always the same size when it is deactivated.
