Changing line spacing in Notes

Is there any way to change the line spacing (space between lines) in the Mail app's Notes? It seems to be excessive, more than double spaced.

Mac OS X (10.7.5)

I had to copy all the text in the note and paste it into TextEdit.


After changing the paragraph spacing, I had to paste it back into the Note using Paste and Retain Style.


Command Return works, but does not remove the original style copied from the source page.


"Format"->"Font"->"Remove Style" sounds like a great idea, but Remove Style was dimmed so I could not select it.


In Notes for macOS Sierra, the List option does not exist in the Format menu (Format -> Lists -> Insert).


In Mail, when you click New Message, a nice little format bar appears at the top of your message so that you can format text easily. Consistency used to be the hallmark at Apple. (Has the Usability test group been eliminated?) Including the format bar in Notes and other Apple apps where it is missing, would be a nice, consistent usability feature. Adding a paragraph line-spacing option to this format bar would be greatly appreciated, even hailed, improvement.


Regards.
