Re: Change Chord Name Font Size

[Mats Bengtsson]

Whenever you find an answer in an old email, find out what LilyPond
version it was written for. Then, make a temporary .ly file containing
\version "2.0.0" % or whatever version the answer applied to
and the lines of code.
Then, run
convert-ly -e temp.ly
and see what the code should look like with your current version of
LilyPond. The property font-relative-size changed name around
version 2.1.1.
