Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Open a new project
- Open the "time signatures" dropdown menu in the "palettes" tab on the left.
- Click "more" and then "create time signature".
- Observe "beam groups" section in the following menu.
Expected behaviour: Note display in sections labelled "1/8", "1/16", "1/32" appear at the same size as shown in documentation (note the "Beams" section of the handbook)
Actual behaviour: The note display appears far smaller, meaning it is difficult to use.
