I was going to reply to this, then realized I hadn't read the question
specifically enough.
When I tried this approach suggested by Aaron,
I noticed that it doesn't actually address the question,
as it leaves the musical symbols (like sharp, flat) the same size,
while the text font changes size.
I started to try to modify this so that it would apply a different scaling
to the
musical symbols, but couldn't figure out how to do that.
In an effort to try to help understand how to adapt this function,
I started off by formatting and adding commentary to see if I
actually understand what it is doing. There are numerous
questions therin. If anyone can help explain how it works,
I might be able to move this forward.

embiggenChordNames = #(define-scheme-function (size) (number?)

chordNameFunction = #(lambda (in-pitches bass inversion context)

(if (eq? (car mu) musicglyph-markup)
(markup (#:fontsize (- size) mu))
(map helper mu))
mu))
(let ((orig (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion
context)))
(markup (#:fontsize size (helper orig)))))
} #} )
% My attempt at explanation
embiggenChordNames = #(define-scheme-function

the list

(if (list? mu)

car.
;;; So, it it a list or a pair?
(if (eq? (car mu) musicglyph-markup)

the text,

(markup (#:fontsize (- size) mu))

a musical symbol?

element that needs adjustment

logic) that this might be the case for text.

might be the case for musical symbols.
