Re: Adjusting staff size and changing fonts

[Mats Bengtsson]

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-08/msg00482.html
and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-12/msg00351.html

Note that (/ myStaffSize 20) is lisp code which just divides the value 
of the
variable myStaffSize with 20, so what this last argument to 
make-pango-font-tree
means is simply a scaling factor relative to the default font size, 
which is 20pt.
