Internally, this sets the @code{fontSize} property.  This in turn
causes 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 of two.  The Scheme function
@code{magstep} converts a @code{font-size} number to a scaling
factor.  The @code{font-size} property can also be set directly,
so that only certain layout objects are affected.

@funindex font-interface
@funindex font-size

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 @code{font-size} property can only be set on layout objects
that use fonts.  These are the ones supporting the
@code{font-interface} layout interface.

@end lilypond


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 @var{'FooBar} or a
string in the form @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]

@knownissues
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
the music event.  When prefixed to a chord, it parenthesizes every
note.  Individual notes inside a chord may also be parenthesized.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
c2 \parenthesize d
c2 \parenthesize <c e g>
c2 <c \parenthesize e g>
@end lilypond

Non-note objects may be parenthesized as well. For articulations, 
a hyphen is needed before the @code{\parenthesize} command.

Parenthesizing a chord prints parentheses around each individual
note, instead of a single large parenthesis around the entire
chord.

Elements of notation can be marked and named with the help of a
square balloon.  The primary purpose of this feature is to explain
notation.

}
@end lilypond


There are two music functions, @code{balloonGrobText} and
@code{balloonText};  the former is used like
@w{@code{\once \override}} to attach text to any grob, and the
latter is used like @code{\tweak}, typically within chords, to
attach text to an individual note.

Balloon text normally influences note spacing, but this can be
altered:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
\new Voice \with { \consists "Balloon_engraver" }
{
  \balloonLengthOff
  \balloonGrobText #'Stem #'(3 . 4) \markup { "I'm a Stem" }

Vertical lines can be drawn between staves synchronized with the
notes.

The @code{Grid_point_engraver} must be used to create the end
points of the lines, while the @code{Grid_line_span_engraver} must
be used to actually draw the lines.  By default this centers grid
lines horizontally below and to the left side of each note head.
Grid lines extend from the middle lines of each staff.  The
@code{gridInterval} must specify the duration between the grid
lines.
