Re: standard staff sizes

[Mats Bengtsson]

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.
