Greetings, Rutger: Rather than query the font size, I use a simple calculation on the global staff size:
In the individual files, globalSize = 18 % or 20 or 15, or what-you-will In the file of included definitions (thus always accessible): mgnStf = #(/ 20 globalSize) Then the eps file is dealt with as needed: \epsfile #Y #(* 1 mgnStf) % replacing "1" with the number of staff-spaces you'd like at size 20 #"your eps file.eps" ===BONUS=== The mgnStf concept is also handy for text positioning within a markup: \translate #(cons 0 (* mgnStf -3)) % for instance Not as elegant as an equivalent to "\abs-fontsize", but maybe it'll get you by...
