I'd like to be able to change the size of the component ref on the board (silk screen), but there seems to be no way to do it? I don't want to have to change any settings that would affect other components, I just want to be able to tweak individual silk screen refs for either fitting into tight spaces or making more visible.

The only way I know of to do this is to uncheck the Name box in the component and then add the reference as free text in the required size.

Yes, that's the only workaround I could come up with too.

Surely it wouldn't take much to add a size function to the Properties for the ref?

Click on the reference text.

Press 's' on the keyboard or right-click > change style

another option is to rotate the test by a few degrees, although the purists may disagree.
