+@subsection Selecting font sizes
+
+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
+
+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.
+
+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:
+

+
+By setting the object properties described below, you can select a
+font from the preconfigured font families. LilyPond has default
+support for the feta music fonts and @TeX{}'s Computer Modern text
+fonts.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item @code{font-encoding}
+is a symbol that sets layout of the glyphs. This should only be set to
+select different types of non-text fonts, eg.
+
+@code{fetaBraces} for piano staff braces, @code{fetaMusic} the
+standard music font, including ancient glyphs, @code{fetaDynamic} for
+dynamic signs and @code{fetaNumber} for the number font.
+
+@item @code{font-family}
+is a symbol indicating the general class of the typeface. Supported are
+@code{roman} (Computer Modern), @code{sans}, and @code{typewriter}.
+
+@item @code{font-shape}
+is a symbol indicating the shape of the font. There are typically
+several font shapes available for each font family. Choices are
+@code{italic}, @code{caps}, and @code{upright}.
+
+@item @code{font-series}
+is a symbol indicating the series of the font. There are typically
+several font series for each font family and shape. Choices are
+@code{medium} and @code{bold}.
+
+@end itemize
+
+Fonts selected in the way sketched above come from a predefined style
+sheet. If you want to use a font from outside the style sheet,
+then set the
+@code{font-name} property,
+
+@lilypond[fragment,verbatim]
+{
+ \override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-name = #"Times"
+ \override Staff.TimeSignature #'font-size = #2
+ \time 3/4
+ c'1_\markup {
+ \override #'(font-name . "Vera Bold")
+ { This text is in Vera Bold }
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@noindent
+Any font can be used, as long as it is available to Pango/FontConfig.
+
+The size of the font may be set with the @code{font-size}
+property. The resulting size is taken relative to the
+@code{text-font-size} as defined in the @code{\paper} block.

-@cindex @code{\transpose}
-
-A music expression can be transposed with @code{\transpose}. The
-syntax is
-@example
-\transpose @var{from} @var{to} @var{musicexpr}
-@end example
-
-This means that @var{musicexpr} is transposed by the interval between
-the pitches @var{from} and @var{to}: any note with pitch @code{from}
-is changed to @code{to}.
-
-
-For example, consider a piece written in the key of D-major. If
-this piece is a little too low for its performer, it can be
-transposed up to E-major with
-@example
-\transpose d e @dots{}
-@end example
-
-Consider a part written for violin (a C instrument). If
-this part is to be played on the A clarinet, the following
-transposition will produce the appropriate part
-
-@example
-\transpose a c @dots{}
-@end example
-
-@code{\transpose} distinguishes between enharmonic pitches: both
-@code{\transpose c cis} or @code{\transpose c des} will transpose up
-half a tone. The first version will print sharps and the second
-version will print flats
-

-\context Staff {
- \clef "F" \mus
- \clef "G"
- \transpose c g' \mus
- \transpose c f' \mus
-}
-@end lilypond
-
-@code{\transpose} may also be used to input written notes for a
-transposing instrument. Pitches are normally entered into LilyPond
-in C (or ``concert pitch''), but they may be entered in another
-key. For example, when entering music for a B-flat trumpet which
-begins on concert D, one would write
-
-@example
-\transpose c bes @{ e4 @dots{} @}
-@end example
-
-To print this music in B-flat again (ie producing a trumpet part,
-instead of a concert pitch conductor's score) you would wrap the
-existing music with another @code{transpose}
-
-@example
-\transpose bes c @{ \transpose c bes @{ e4 @dots{} @} @}
-@end example
