Hi Al ! ,
(Provided that you are using Windows)(a blunder not to state OS and version when writing about technical stuff like that) Then : I have experienced a lot of issues with 'display' using Windows 10 - 64 bit. And a lot of programs appear to have 'issues' a lot worse than this /a little too small.
Anyway , Windows do offer some settings , of which I have no idea if they will be of any use for you and some programs may respond negatively to any 'tweaking' so one also always should maybe backup system (or at least system settings)(restore point) prior to any tweaking attempts.
1) That 'said' then if you right-click Windows desktop then second menu item from bottom is 'Display Settings' , in that there is a section for ''Scale and Layout' where you can set size of text and stuff, setting that may impact your programs - maybe negatively - but you can try it.
2) Also , and again I do not know how or if it will impact your 'problem' then (it this is probably a much better venue)(but I do not know what to attempt to tweak, program plug-in whatever) , then if you navigate to e.g. the executable of program that you want to tweak then right click and choose 'properties' , then on tab 'compatibility' , then on bottom you will find something called 'High DPI Settings' and 'Change Settings for all users'. Tweaking there may also impact size of stuff depending on settings , but again then the software may not like what you do and either not function or not display correctly.
Any tweaking of display may require a reboot before testing.
Also and this is important , it appears to me that some programs or Windows itself sometimes responds later as if it somehow stores any tweaking attempts (though it should not) and hence the suggestion for a backup prior to any tweaking.
My writing here is probably a 'fools errand' since you may not see the use of the advice, but alas these are often (if not the only ? then at least some of the) the options suggested to alter display experience !
(How to attempt such tweaking with Miroslav Philharmonik 2 in mind may probably be a question that one should direct at support or in the support forum) (this is a wish-list so one should not 'hi-jack' thread either !!)

Your remark suggests a degrading eyesight , which I myself are only too familiar with
, and in the end then the only thing that will really help (referring to PC 'technical' solutions)(other than built-in screen magnifying tools) is a larger screen (capable of displaying multiple resolutions nicely) and using a screen resolution not too high ! And alas Laptop PCs are not the best when it comes to that since they do not offer huge screens unless you attach then to an external monitor - which still require that he laptop graphics adapter are capable of driving the screen properly !
