No, you can see the size as an exponent if you like. These sizes are
not: 8pt, 12pt and similar but you can also have 0 or negative numbers.
0.1 is just quite close to 1 (and closer to 0). If you like it really
small choose -4 or so.

Cheers,

wonderful! it works.   Including ChordName.color

For some reason, font-size seems to have a minimum.  Value "1" seems to 
be the minimum, and anything below that (e.g., 0.1) seems to be rounded 
up to 1.  I could be wrong.

Well, arguably it makes a bit more sense than Knuth's choice of a
magstep being a factor of 1.2.  Because the powers of 2^{1:12} as the
basis of half a magstep are known to be close enough for practical
purposes to a variety of small-integer-based ratios.

3:2?  Try font-size 3.5.  4:3?  Try font-size 2.5.  5:4? How about
font-size 2?

Eat your heart out, Don: there's music in _our_ choice.

In other words: font-size isn’t given as absolute, but as relative size, 
where 0 means ‘normal size’, -6 is half the size, and 6 is twice as large.

It can be given as absolute, if desired, via Mike S’s function.

6 whole steps per octave.  So if I want to illustrate the shrinking of
distances higher up the fretboard, I can just add -0.5 per semitone to
the font-size.  Or something.

So, will a future version allow microtypographical 2^{1/19} magnification
steps?  :-)

Re: chord symbol styling

[tisimst]

You are close. The correct context is "ChordNames" (with an "s"). This is
what is done in the jazzchords.ily stylesheet:

\layout {
  \context {
\ChordNames
\override ChordName.font-name = #"lilyjazz-chord"
  }
}
