Hello. I want to use a less heavy font (smaller notes or wider staff) - less black on paper. So maybe I should combine the font feta18 with staff-sice 20 or 21. But how to set the font size?
I found in the lilypond documentation only how to change the staff-size (see below). But I cannot change the font. Who can help? Thank you. Werner --- 11.2 Music layout 11.2.1 Setting the staff size To set the staff size globally for all scores in a file (or in a book block, to be precise), use set-global-staff-size. #(set-global-staff-size 14) This sets the global default size to 14pt staff height and scales all fonts accordingly. To set the staff size individually for each score, use \score{ ... \layout{ #(layout-set-staff-size 15) } } The Feta font provides musical symbols at eight different sizes. Each font is tuned for a different staff size: at a smaller size the font becomes heavier, to match the relatively heavier staff lines. The recommended font sizes are listed in the following table: font name staff height (pt) staff height (mm) use feta11 11.22 3.9 pocket scores feta13 12.60 4.4 feta14 14.14 5.0 feta16 15.87 5.6 feta18 17.82 6.3 song books feta20 20 7.0 standard parts feta23 22.45 7.9 feta26 25.2 8.9 These fonts are available in any sizes. The context property fontSize and the layout property staff-space (in StaffSymbol) can be used to tune the size for individual staves. The sizes of individual staves are relative to the global size.
