I have a project in which I would like a live musician to see measure and beat numbers on a laptop screen as the csound file plays. Since I was using CsoundQT, I displayed the numbers with widgets, but I found that widgets seem to have a font size limit of 99. I would like to have the numbers potentially fill the whole screen. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Bill,

I don't know about CsoundQt font sizes, but maybe you could talk to
the software INScore through OSC if there is no way around it with the
widgets.

Just a thought!

Use HTML. You can then have any font size or style you like. You can
use the very latest version of the Windows installer with CsoundQt
that has HTML5 support enabled, or csound.node. CsoundQt comes with
some HTML examples.

If you are not on Windows you can use the WebAssembly build of Csound,
which runs in a Web browser without external dependencies. Example
here: https://gogins.github.io/csound/Scrims_wasm.html, clone the
whole business from https://github.com/gogins/gogins.github.io and run
your own local Web server to get this to work on your computer.

Regards,
Mike

or, as two other (very simple) options:
1. reduce screen resolution (e.g. 600x800 instead of 1000x1600)
2. zoom in via your operating system (for me on debian: alt + scroll up).
