Perhaps it might be worth clarifying what sort of "pt" does LilyPond use. Or
did I just overlook this information?
For instance, run
\version "2.25.12"
\pointAndClickOff
\header { tagline = "" }
\paper { text-font-size = 12 }
\markup { LOL }
and either use -dbackend=cairo --eps, or
"
Actually "NR 4.2.2 Setting the staff size" kind of document it:
The default staff size is 20 points, which corresponds to a staff height of
7.03mm (one point is equal to 100/7227 of an inch, or 2540/7227 mm).

Thanks! Even more info on the units can be found "5.4.2 Distances and
This is perhaps not the best place to discuss that, but thinking about it, I
don't understand why text-font-size is dimensionless (when it actually does
have a dimension). Wouldn't
text-font-size = 12 \pt
be more intuitive (and, at the same time, allowing also other units)?

"
…expects an integer size scaled by PANGO_SCALE, which is 1024. That is, we
are
limited to a precision of 1/1024 points on the font size.
"
An "evidence" for this might be that the difference
7.73242188 - 7.73046876
is pretty close to 2/1024.

Great, thanks!

= "PartPOneVoiceOne" {\transpose c d \voiceOne \
PartPOneVoiceOne }
where the \transpose has no effect (\voiceOne should come before \
transpose).
Tested using the musicxml2ly script coming with 2.25.12 and 2.24.0.
Thanks!

Seems like this didn't get much attention…

Please do so; thanks!

Hello,
I'm running the following code
\version "2.25.12"
\markup { LOL }
\markup { \magnify #2.0 LOL }
and the results are not really precise. When producing --eps, the relevant
output lines are
/C059-Roman 3.86523438 output-scale div selectfont
/C059-Roman 7.73242188 output-scale div
