Hi David, Now I see what you mean and this shouldn't happen and I'd call it a bug. As usual, a minimal (compilable) example would have helped enormously. Here it is: %%%%% \version "2.19.81" \header { title = \markup \abs-fontsize #20 "Absolute Font Size" } #(set-global-staff-size 18) \book { { b'1 } } #(set-global-staff-size 14) \book { { b'1 } } #(set-global-staff-size 26) \book { { b'1 } } %%%%% <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/abs-fontsize-problem.png> \abs-fontsize tries to get all kinds of scaling information via ly:output-def-lookup, but apparently not enough for working correctly under these circumstances.
