Thanks to you and Jean Abou Samra. I have been able to do all the things I needed (including some not mentioned) using what I have [re-]learned today.

Hello Paul, font-size is what you are looking for. All the grobs that support a font-interface can use this. For augmentation dots: \override Dots.font-size = #2 For staccato you might want to change the font-size of staccato only in the list of scripts. See for example https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-12/msg00160.html Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com>
