Hi Carl-Hendrik, please use the code I sent you, because it works here, I tested it. If you then want to put it elsewhere or change things, do it step by step to see which step fails.
Does this minimal example work for you? { a a a a } \addlyrics { A B C D } \layout { \override Lyrics.LyricText.font-name = "Arial" \override Lyrics.LyricText.font-size = -1 } Possible problems are: - Did you forget the 'Lyrics.' part? - You need a string, so either #"fontname" or "fontname" - Sometimes it is difficult to find the correct font name Try with an easy name of a font that you know is installed on your computer. For example: the font Century Schoolbook is not just called like this, but rather "Century Schoolbook L". Or I often use Linux Libertine which is called "Linux Libertine O" > Regardless of font, how to make the font size smaller? Have you seen my mail?
