Hi David, I tried this and that and now come up with below. Seems the results are consistent, I recommend further testings, though. I'm not sure why it seems to work now, but I'm not a font-expert. The text is now a (very) little taller, but I'd say it's a good trade-off . Looking at the output of the examples one can definetly state abs-fontsize is buggy like hell. #(define-markup-command (abs-fontsize-harm layout props size arg) (number? markup?) #:properties ((word-space 0.6) (baseline-skip 3)) #:category font "Use @var{size} as the absolute font size (in points) to display @var{arg}. Adjusts @code{baseline-skip} and @code{word-space} accordingly. @lilypond[verbatim,quote] \\markup { default text font size \\hspace #2 \\abs-fontsize #16 { text font size 16 } \\hspace #2 \\abs-fontsize #12 { text font size 12 } } @end lilypond" (let* ((ref-size (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'text-font-size 12)) (text-props (list (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'text-font-defaults))) (magnification (/ size ref-size))) (interpret-markup layout (cons `((baseline-skip . ,(* magnification baseline-skip)) (word-space . ,(* magnification word-space)) (font-size . ,(+ (magnification->font-size magnification) (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'pt)))) props) arg))) \header { title = \markup \override #'(box-padding . 0) \box \line \box { \abs-fontsize-harm #10 "Absolute Font Size" \abs-fontsize #10 "Absolute Font Size" } } #(set-global-staff-size 26) \book { { b'1 } } #(set-global-staff-size 20) \book { { b'1 } } #(set-global-staff-size 10) \book { { b'1 } } Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
