Hello,
I find my hairpins often end up smaller than when I created them after syncing a few times between my tablet and Windows app.
While I haven't figured out exactly what order of actions causes this in my real scores, I found a way to cause it to happen:
- In the tablet, add a hairpin to a score with a height of 7.
- Sync to my PC app (two-way).
- In the tablet, the hairpin now shows with a height of 6.
- Open the score on the PC and note that while the hairpin looks the right size, the height is listed as 3.
- Change the PC hairpin height to 4, then 3 to flag it as modified.
- Sync again.
- Open the score on the tablet and note that the hairpin is very small with a height of 3.

Please note that the size listed in the popup is the "scaled size" of the annotation, which accounts for the density and resolution of the screen. So if you select a value of "6" for the height, for example, this will be saved as a much smaller value in terms of the raw PDF page size, so it could be something like 2.42. If that annotations is rendered on another device, it will scale that 2.42 to match the density and resolution of the screen, so the size could be something very different like a scaled size of "4" or "8". That is why you are seeing the height listed as a 3 on your PC - the display scaling in Windows is most likely a smaller value like 100% or 125%, whereas on your Android device, it probably has a display scaling of 200-250%. However, I'm not sure why modifying it on the PC would cause it to suddenly become a different size on the Android device, as the scaling should still be consistent between devices for the selected value. Are you using a PDF or text/ChordPro file?

This is using a PDF file.
I get what you're saying about the display scaling, so I won't expect the numbers to match between the two (though I think that would be more intuitive).
The real reason I'm having trouble with the issue it seems all of my scores eventually have really tiny (low height) hairpins, even though I never actually edit them after adding them. It seems related to syncing with my PC, but I couldn't find the steps that actually caused it.
While testing and trying to reproduce the issue, I found the process below causes the issue, so I assumed they were the same problem.
I don't know if it matters, but my PC (Windows) has a display scaling of 125%. I don't know about the tablet (since I don't explicitly set it), but it's a Galaxy Tab S8+.
