The staff sizes in LilyPond are measured in 'points' (pt), which is
a well-accepted standard for typesetting. One inch is 72.27 pt,
so the size 2 (100%) at
http://anakin-www-hp.cc.colorado.edu/Dept/MU/Musicpress/Images/S/StaffSizes.gif
corresponds to 4.5/16*72.27 = 20.3259 pt, which is slightly larger than
the default 20 pt staff size in LilyPond.
If I calculated correctly, the 8 staff sizes given at the web page
correspond to the following sizes in pt:
24.8pt, 22.6pt, 20.3pt, 18.5pt, 18.1pt, 16.7pt, 15.4pt, 13.6pt
so the total range in LilyPond is somewhat larger but the steps
between the different sizes are larger.

Hello, all!
Is there any obvious relationship between the built-in font/paper sizes
in Lilypond and the accepted engraving standards

Thanks!
Kieren.
