Sorry for the poor Subject.

 I frequently need do something like:  c \tweak font-size #-2 c' in order to 
 show that one of the two notes is preferred, but the other one is acceptable. 
  The problem is that the -2 in the \tweak command is an absolute value, 
 i.e., it is not relative to the fontSize being used.  If the fontSize were 
 -3, e.g., then the smaller note would actually be bigger than the preferred 
 one.
 
 What I would like to do is substitute for the -2 the value fontSize-2.  
 Is this possible?  If so,how?

\version 2.18.2

mySize = -3

\relative c'' {
  \once\set fontSize = \mySize
  c \tweak  font-size #(- mySize 2) c'
}
