No you have in your example a malformed syntax. You are overriding a widget
and defining a variable on the widget to alter it so the markup bit in your
example just goes plunk or nowhere. Try this.

\override BreathingSign #'font-size = #'22  See the pattern \override
WidgetType #'alterable-variable = #'(expressed value of variable desired)
Sometimes the parenthesis are required, e.g. x and y values,  but for
single values they are not.  There is likely a way to tweak this into
existece but I am too tired to work that out just now.
