Actually, there are two things: 1. There isn't a difference between "regular" and "medium" font-series styles within LilyPond. They are the same (except that LilyPond doesn't actually recognize the font-series "regular", so you must use "medium"). Many text fonts do not have both variants, so they are treated synonymously. Also, when you specify "\normal-text" in a markup, you are actually telling it to use the default non-italic "roman" text font. So just be aware of that. 2. As shown on the Ubuntu font website <http://font.ubuntu.com/> , there is NO PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE between the upright (non-italic) shaped series of "Regular" and "Medium" variants (not sure why that is since there is definitely a difference between the corresponding italic-shaped variants). Thus, even if it were possible to use both "Regular" and "Medium" font-series, the Ubuntu font won't show any difference, at least in the upright case. And just so everything is clear, the main difference between the new function "set-global-fonts" and "make-pango-font-tree" is that "make-pango-font-tree" defaults to using Emmentaler as the music and piano brace fonts and you can only pick the text fonts. Otherwise, they are the same (even the underlying code is virtually identical). So, the "way to specify fonts" hasn't really changed, it has just gotten more flexible by allowing you to change the music and piano brace fonts.
