I have been trying to slightly reduce the font size for guitar fingering, as the default size of number touch when adjacent notes in a chord have fingering, as in the attached file.
However, I can't get the numbers any smaller than the default. If I use \override Fingering #'font-size = #0 Then the numbers are twice as large as the default, and \override Fingering #'font-size = #-6 gives exactly the same size as no size override, whereas my reading of the documentation (sect 1.7.1 in lilypond.pdf) is that using #0 should give the default size and #-6 should give half that size. Ly file is attached. I'm using 2.11.63 on Vista. When I uncomment the \override commands in the three voices, the size of the numbers doubles. Nick Payne
