On a related note, would it be easy to get the LilyPond Log to tell me what the font size (in points) of a given markup in a given \fontsize is? Per NR 8.2.2 Selecting font and font size <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.27/Documentation/notation/formatting-text#selecting-font-and-font-size> I know that the font size depends on the staff height unless one is using \abs-fontsize (which, per Kieren, is often a good idea!). For example: \version "2.27.1" % #(set-global-staff-size 15.85) \markup % \fontsize #0 { Normal markup } \markup \fontsize #-1.5 { Smaller markup } % Wish list item: % Scheme code to go here that % would print to the LilyPond log % the point sizes of % \normalsize (i.e., #0) % and #-1.5 (or whatever argument % I give to Scheme)
