To change the size of the notation without changing the staff
size, specify a magnification factor with the @code{\magnifyMusic}
command:

@c Grieg Piano Concerto (mvt.1 cadenza)
@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\new Staff <<
  \new Voice \relative {
    \voiceOne
    <e' e'>4 <f f'>8. <g g'>16 <f f'>8 <e e'>4 r8
  }
  \new Voice \relative {
    \voiceTwo
    \magnifyMusic 0.63 {
      r32 c'' a c a c a c r c a c a c a c
      r c a c a c a c a c a c a c a c
    }
  }
>>
@end lilypond

If a normal sized note head is merged with a smaller one, the size
of the smaller note may need to be reset (with
@w{@samp{\once@tie{}\normalsize}}) so that the stems and
accidentals align properly:

@c Chopin Prelude op.28 no.8
@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\new Staff <<
  \key fis \minor
  \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn
  \new Voice \relative {
    \voiceOne
    \magnifyMusic 0.63 {
      \once \normalsize cis'32( cis' gis b a fis \once \normalsize d d'
      \once \normalsize cis, cis' gis b a gis \once \normalsize fis fis'
      \once \normalsize fis, fis' ais, cis b gis \once \normalsize eis eis'
      \once \normalsize a, a' bis, d cis b \once \normalsize gis gis')
    }
  }
  \new Voice \relative {
    \voiceTwo
    cis'8. d16 cis8. fis16 fis8. eis16 a8. gis16
  }
>>
@end lilypond

The @code{\magnifyMusic} command is not intended for cue notes,
grace notes, or ossia staves---there are more appropriate methods
of entering each of those constructs.  Instead, it is useful when
the notation size changes in a single instrumental part on one
staff, and where grace notes are not appropriate, such as in
cadenza-like passages or in cases such as the above examples.
Setting the @code{\magnifyMusic} value to 0.63 duplicates the
dimensions of the @code{CueVoice} context.

@warning{The @code{@bs{}magnifyMusic} command should @i{not} be
used when also resizing the staff.  See @ref{Setting the staff
size}.}


@subsubsubheading Resizing individual layout objects

An individual layout object can be resized by using the
@code{\tweak} or @code{\override} commands to adjust its
@code{font-size} property:

@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=1]
% resize a note head
<f \tweak font-size -4 b e>-5
% resize a fingering
bes-\tweak font-size 0 -3
% resize an accidental
\once \override Accidental.font-size = -4 bes!-^
% resize an articulation
\once \override Script.font-size = 4 bes!-^
@end lilypond

The default @code{font-size} value for each layout object is
listed in the Internals Reference.  The @code{font-size} property
can only be set for layout objects that support the
@code{font-interface} layout interface.  If @code{font-size} is
not specified in the object's @q{Standard@tie{}settings} list, its
value is 0.  See @rinternals{All layout objects}.


@subsubsubheading Understanding the @code{fontSize} property

The @code{fontSize} context property adjusts the relative size of
all glyph-based notational elements in a context:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
\time 3/4
d4---5 c8( b a g) |
\set fontSize = -6
e'4-- c!8-4( b a g) |
\set fontSize = 0
fis4---3 e8( d) fis4 |
g2.
@end lilypond

The @code{fontSize} value is a number indicating the size relative
to the standard size for the current staff height.  The default
@code{fontSize} is 0; adding 6 to any @code{fontSize} value
doubles the printed size of the glyphs, and subtracting 6 halves
the size.  Each step increases the size by approximately 12%.

The scheme function @code{magnification->font-size} is provided
for convenience since the logarithmic units of the
@code{font-size} property are not entirely intuitive.  For
example, to adjust the musical notation to 75% of the default
size, use:

@example
\set fontSize = #(magnification->font-size 0.75)
@end example

The scheme function @code{magstep} does the opposite: it converts
a @code{font-size} value into a magnification factor.

The @code{fontSize} property will only affect notational elements
that are drawn with glyphs, such as noteheads, accidentals,
scripts, etc.  It will not affect the size of the staff itself,
nor will it scale stems, beams, or horizontal spacing.  To scale
stems, beams, and horizontal spacing along with the notation size
(without changing the staff size), use the @code{\magnifyMusic}
command discussed above.  To scale everything, including the staff
size, see @ref{Setting the staff size}.

Whenever the @code{fontSize} @i{context property} is set, its
value is added to the value of the @code{font-size} @i{grob
property} for individual layout objects, before any glyphs are
printed.  This can cause confusion when setting individual
@code{font-size} properties while @code{fontSize} is already set:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
% the default font-size for NoteHead is 0
% the default font-size for Fingering is -5
c4-3

\set fontSize = -3
% the effective font size for NoteHead is now -3
% the effective font size for Fingering is now -8
c4-3

\override Fingering.font-size = 0
% the effective font size for Fingering is now -3
c4-3

Font size changes are achieved by scaling the design size that is
closest to the desired size.  The standard font size (for
@w{@code{font-size = 0}}) depends on the standard staff height.
For a 20pt staff, a 10pt font is selected.

The full range of colors defined for X11 can be accessed by using
the Scheme function @code{x11-color}.  The function takes one
argument; this can be a symbol in the form @code{'@var{FooBar}} or
a string in the form @code{"@var{FooBar}"}.  The first form is
quicker to write and is more efficient.  However, using the second
form it is possible to access X11 colors by the multi-word form of
its name.

If @code{x11-color} cannot make sense of the parameter then the
color returned defaults to black.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]

An X11 color is not necessarily exactly the same shade as a
similarly named normal color.

Not all X11 colors are distinguishable in a web browser, i.e.,
a web browser might not display a difference between @code{LimeGreen}
and @code{ForestGreen}.  For web use normal colors are recommended
(i.e., @code{blue}, @code{green}, @code{red}).

Notes in a chord cannot be colored with @code{\override}; use
@code{\tweak} instead, see @ref{The tweak command}.

Objects may be parenthesized by prefixing @code{\parenthesize} to

Non-note objects may be parenthesized as well.  For articulations,

There are two music functions, @code{balloonGrobText} and

@w{@code{\once \override}} to attach text to any grob, and the

attach text to an individual note.

Balloon text does not influence note spacing, but this can be altered:
