Thanks Kieren, I have some questions about the staff sizes:
1. Is there a world wide standard for staff sizes? 2. Are "Rastral Staff Sizes" always the same? I once found a different list of rastral sizes. The differences are on the level of 2%, but I wonder if there is some official reference. 3. Why does LilyPond suggest other staff sizes? http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size.html Where do they come from? 4. Are "Rastral Staff Sizes" just a result of the fact that the tools for hand-engraved music can not scale arbitrarily? Or from the computer-based point of view: Is anything wrong with choosing a staff size of 19.1? TIA Joram If anyone is interested, I once combined a list of rastral sizes, the LP feta sizes and integer pt sizes into this table (sorry, the purpose is in German).
