-LilyPond has fonts in different design sizes.  The music fonts for
-smaller sizes are chubbier, while the text fonts are relatively wider.
-Font size changes are achieved by scaling the design size that is
-closest to the desired size.  The standard font size (for
-@code{font-size} equals 0), depends on the standard staff height.  For
-a 20pt staff, a 10pt font is selected.
