microtones, nested tuplet beams, and unusual fermatas, please
see those sections of the documentation.

+@c I don't think we should discourage modern composers who might

+@c In general, the use of new, innovative notation makes a piece

+@c avoided. For this reason, support for contemporary notation in
+@c LilyPond is limited.

Different noteheads are used by various instruments for various
meanings -- crosses are used for ``parlato'' with vocalists, stopped
notes on guitar; diamonds are used for harmonics on string instruments,

-@node Selecting notation font size
-@subsection Selecting notation font size
-
-The easiest method of setting the font size of any context is by
-setting the @code{fontSize} property.
-
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,relative=1,verbatim]
-c8
-\set fontSize = #-4
-c f
-\set fontSize = #3
-g
-@end lilypond
-
-@noindent
-It does not change the size of variable symbols, such as beams or
-slurs.
-
-Internally, the @code{fontSize} context property will cause the
-@code{font-size} property to be set in all layout objects. The value
-of @code{font-size} is a number indicating the size relative to the
-standard size for the current staff height. Each step up is an
-increase of approximately 12% of the font size. Six steps is exactly a
-factor two. The Scheme function @code{magstep} converts a
-@code{font-size} number to a scaling factor.
-
-@lilypond[quote,fragment,relative=1,verbatim]
-c8
-\override NoteHead #'font-size = #-4
-c f
-\override NoteHead #'font-size = #3
-g
-@end lilypond
-
-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.
-
-The @code{font-size} property can only be set on layout objects that
-use fonts. These are the ones supporting the
-@internalsref{font-interface} layout interface.
-
-@refcommands
-
-The following commands set @code{fontSize} for the current voice:
-
-@findex \tiny
-@code{\tiny},
-@findex \small
-@code{\small},
-@findex \normalsize
-@code{\normalsize}.

In shape note head notation, the shape of the note head corresponds
to the harmonic function of a note in the scale. This notation was
popular in the 19th century American song books.
