Unlikely.

Let's start with a working minimal example and go from there. The font-size formula is, indeed, 2**(font-size/6) as stated. You claim to be seeing something else but without an actual example it is impossible to check what is going wrong. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
