Re: fontsize and 'boldness'

[Mats Bengtsson]

In version 2.2, the lyrics default font was changed to
bold(-narrow). The default boldface font in LaTeX is
'bold extended', so if you want the same font in LaTeX text
as is used in LilyPond, you could do
\renewcommand{\bfdefault}{b}
\bfseries

To tell LilyPond to use standard weight font for lyrics,
just use
\override Score.LyricText   #'font-series = #'medium
