Sans Font for Lilypond texts? |

Hi,
I want to try to have all my lyrics typeset in a Sans font. Therefor
I´ve used a snippet from LSR
(http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=221):
%%% BEGIN OF SNIPPET %%%
\paper {
myStaffSize = #20
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Bitstream Vera Sans"
"Nimbus Sans"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ myStaffSize 20)))
}
%%% END OF SNIPPET %%%
I substituted Times New Roman with Bitstream Vera Sans what isn´t a
very good way, I think.
When producing lilypond-output directly with lilypond this works quite
good, but together with lilypond-book the layout is very bad: the
barlines and stems are smaller than they should be to suit the size of
the noteheads.
I produced two simple examples to show what I did:
%%%% BEGIN OF PURE LILYPOND-FILE%%%%
\version "2.10.29"
\paper {
myStaffSize = #20
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Bitstream Vera Sans"
"Nimbus Sans"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ myStaffSize 20)))
}
verseOne = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "1. "
test bla blub -- ber
test bla blub -- ber
}
\score {
{
<<
\relative c'' {
\key d \major
\time 2/4
cis4 d | e fis
cis4 d | e fis
\bar "|."
}
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
>>
}
}
%%%% ENDOF PURE LILYPOND-FILE%%%%
%%%% BEGIN OF LYTEX-FILE %%%%
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\lilypondfile[staffsize=11]{test.ly}
\end{document}
%%%% END OF LYTEX-FILE %%%%
As you see, I cannot change the Staffsize and everything belonging to
it from within the LyTeX-file. How can I achieve this in another way?
I hope there is a more straight-forward way ...
Thanks, Dominic
PS: It seems that the \sans command only works within \markup
commands. So I cannot say "\sans" at the beginning of the document to
make everything appear in a Sans font.
