sure - but also #(layout-set-staff-size nn) combined with an \override of
the staff-space = #m works.

the big difference is that you can scale it in the \markup where you use it,
e.g.
\markup {
  \fontsize #14 \bar-line #".|:"
  \fontsize #-4 \bar-line #".|:"
}
will render two differently sized start repeat signs, whereas there is no
effect in the \markup \score { … } generated markup.

that's why I support David's suggestion to add it to the source files.

should we raise a feature request!? I can do this on my next duty day
(Monday - if it hasn't been added before)
