Initial version 01.06.10 Added 30 May 2024, Thanks to Ilkay Bora Oder.

The plugin brings up a mini plugin dialog. The initial value in the edit box will be the font size (converted to points, rounded to 1 decimal) of the first selected Text/SystemText object. The initial focus in the edit box.

It can change the font size of any selected Text or System Text objects to the font size typed into the edit box. Lyrics are not supported.

The plugin lets you see the current size of the first selected Text object, as well as letting you change the font sizes without needing to see the Inspector or Text pane.

It is equivalent to the font size edit boxes in the Inspector and Text pane, and there are similar rounding errors (e.g., 12 pt in a 7mm staff will display as 11.9).

If text objects are selected individually, the initial size will be the font size of the first object you selected.
