Re: standard staff sizes
2014-01-28 Noeck noeck.marb...@gmx.de: As an addition to my previous mail, you can find a comparison of different rastral sizes (staff sizes) here: http://joramberger.de/files/rastral.pdf that's really nice, thanks a lot!

Re: standard staff sizes
The staff sizes in LilyPond are measured in 'points' (pt), which is a well-accepted standard for typesetting. One inch is 72.27 pt, so the size 2 (100%) at http://anakin-www-hp.cc.colorado.edu/Dept/MU/Musicpress/Images/S/StaffSizes.gif corresponds to 4.5/16*72.27 = 20.3259 pt, which is slightly larger than the default 20 pt staff size in LilyPond. If I calculated correctly, the 8 staff sizes given at the web page correspond to the following sizes in pt: 24.8pt, 22.6pt, 20.3pt, 18.5pt, 18.1pt, 16.7pt, 15.4pt, 13.6pt so the total range in LilyPond is somewhat larger but the steps between the different sizes are larger. /Mats Kieren Richard MacMillan wrote: Hello, all!

Re: standard staff sizes
Hello, Mats: Thank you for the response -- very informative and helpful! If I wanted to set up staff sizes to *exactly* match the standards, do I have to build my own fonts (e.g., 20.3259pt), or is there an easy way (within Lilypond/TeX/etc.) to scale an entire page (or staff) -- including all objects -- by some arbitrary value (e.g., 20.3259/20 = 1.016297)?

Re: standard staff sizes
It's probably easiest to solve this by rescaling the Postscript file, use the program psresize or pstops. You could also do it in LilyPond by combining the ideas of http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#font-magnification.ly and http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#staff-size.ly Unfortunately, it's not possible to use non-integer values for the fontSize property at the moment, so you have to set the font magnification separately for each output object. /Mats Kieren Richard MacMillan wrote: Hello, Mats: Thank you for the response -- very informative and helpful!
