Hi Carl,

Thanks for the helpful response.

Excellent.

I'm optimistic I can.

No indeed. Thanks for the tip!

Hmmm… Well, since it seems that [roughly]

   staff-size #20 @ font size #0 => baseline-skip 3

I would hope I'd be able to work out some formula.

It's a good question. I simply copied this code from 
define-markup-commands.scm. On quick glance, it appears that most of those 
functions have Lilypond examples in their doc string(s). In any case, I'll 
leave it as a different question, to be handled separately from the improvement 
of \huge et al.

Thanks,
