I find 10-point too small and 12-point too large, /rm too light
and /bf too dark, to have readable lyrics. I've therefore
made myself an include file (included below) that provides:
1. 11-point in /rm, /bf and /it. I have tentatively called
this size \Normtype.
2. Sans-serif in 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 point
I can only check the old standard encoding, so the DC and EC options
may contain mistakes.
Although the file serves my needs, this sort of thing belongs in
musixtex.tex. My file is 87 lines long, but much of it duplicates what
is already in musixtex.tex. So if such an enhancement were made to
musixtex.tex, that would be a more economical way of doing it.
Just a suggestion ...

% Additional fonts for MusiXTeX.
% 1. Adds 11-point size as \elevenrm etc and \Normtype.
% 2. Supplies sans-serif in sizes 8-point to 11-point as \eightsf etc.
