Hello Paul. I'm sorry if I offended you. But it's just very simple to change 22 to 20 and see if this solves the problem.
TNR is a smaller font than the Century Schoolbook clone Lilypond uses, so maybe you need to increase the scale further. Then, you are not telling Lilypond it's default. The factor takes a number. The expression (/ a b) where a,b are two numbers is the number a/b. So basically you calculate the factor for the font to be proportional to the change in staffsize. E.g. if your staffsize is 10 (half the default) you use factor 1/2. Valentin 22.08.2021 21:51:09 Paul Hodges <p...@cassland.org>: > I'm not arguing - I'm trying to understand.
