Subject: Small note within a chord

Greetings -

And thanks for all your work and help.

I'm trying to produce a chord with one note reduced in size, as in the 
attached. I've searched the LilyPond documentation and the LilyPond Snippet 
Repository, but haven't found an answer.

Notation reference 5.3.4 shows that you need to use \tweak to change the 
properties of one note in a chord:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/the-tweak-command

The internals reference shows that NoteHead grobs support the font-interface, 
which has a font-size property
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/internals/font_002dinterface

So, one can do

{<c' \tweak font-size #-2 e' g'>}

HTH,

Carl
