Text font sizes

[Urs Liska]

Hi list,

I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I don't seem to be able 
to find an answer.

How can I determine (or set) the absolute point size of fonts that 
LilyPond uses for text elements (in my current case the page numbers)?

The issue at hand is that I compile a volume from textual pages and 
LilyPond scores. The complete book will be created with LaTeX, the 
scores included with pdfpages. Of course I want the info in the header 
and footer be formatted the same way in both parts.

There would be another approach I could think of, but which I'm slightly 
scared of. If I get a hint how to achieve it I might go this way instead 
(but I'd be interested in an answer to my original question anyway ...):
I could compile the LilyPond scores without headers and footers and 
create these with LaTeX throughout the book. But there are two things:
- I'd have to remove headers and footers without affecting the layout of 
the scores that have already been finished.
- I'd have to find the solution to crop and place the LIlyPond pages so 
they don't interfere with LateX's page margins (or is there an option to 
pdfpages that I didn't find so far and that allows to print headers and 
footers _on top_ of the included pages?).

Any ideas would be very welcome.

Best
Urs
