re: change markup note size

[plutek]

followup to my own post:

while the notation manual states: "\note log dots dir" with a note
explaining that the third value refers to the stem direction (+1 is up and
-1 is down), it does not tell us what i have just discovered: the third
value ALSO controls stem length and position.

\markup { \magnify #3  \note #2 #0 #3 } yields a 3x-sized note with
correct position/length of the stem.

\markup { \magnify #0.5 \note #2 #0 #0.5 } yields a 0.5x-sized note with
correct position/length of the stem.

a negative third value flips the note upside down, and still corrects the
stem length.

unfortunately, the stem thickness is unaffected, so the range of values
for which this method will create a useful result is limited.
