Having an `\abs-' prefix is easy to remember. I would favor this more
than `\absoluteSizeOn', but I fully agree that defining everything
twice is error-prone. What about adding a `meta macro' (or special
form, or whatever) that generates absolute and non-absolute versions?
I imagine something like
(make-relative-absolute
(define-markup-command (foo ...)
...))
to create \foo and \abs-foo. No idea whether this is possible at all,
however. In case it *is* possible, we should probably continue the
discussion on lilypond-devel.
