As of version 1.17, \txtfont does adjust to music size
somewhat:

\def\txtfont{%          
\ifdim\internote<.95\Internote \sevenit
\else\ifdim\internote<1.19\Internote \eightit
\else\ifdim\internote<1.43\Internote \tenit
\else\twelveit\fi\fi\fi}

\sixit is not a standard font, though with type1 fonts it is
certainly possible to create it.

Version 1.16 is where \txtfont was introduced. Version 1.20
is the latest widely distributed version and there's a
"beta" of 1.21 at WIMA.

Each version has a "ChangeLog" near the beginning of the text.
