Q: Change Zoom of Notes.app

I have one of the 2011 15" MacBook Pro with a higher resolution display (1680 x 1050), before retina came out.   Unfortunately, in many of the Apple apps the default 100% zoom level displays fonts in normal sizes (12, 14) way too small to be comfortably read. In most apps, Pages, Safari, TextEdit etc. I can simply adjust the zoom, so that they become better visible on the screen.  However, Notes.app doesn't provide that functionality.

Does anyone know of a hack to change the default zoom level of the Notes app?

 

I don't want to change the font size, i.e., change the font from from 12pt to 16pt, for example as suggested here, here, or here, because my notes are synced with the iPad and I don't want them to end up looking too big there.

Nor do I want to change the screen zoom (accessibility feature).

 

I am looking for a way to change the size in which the Notes app displays the text of the notes on OS X.

Any hints much appreciated.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11)
