Thanks Kieren,
I have some questions about the staff sizes:
1. Is there a world wide standard for staff sizes?
2. Are "Rastral Staff Sizes" always the same? I once found a different
list of rastral sizes. The differences are on the level of 2%, but I
wonder if there is some official reference.
3. Why does LilyPond suggest other staff sizes?
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size.html
Where do they come from?
4. Are "Rastral Staff Sizes" just a result of the fact that the tools
for hand-engraved music can not scale arbitrarily?
Or from the computer-based point of view: Is anything wrong with
choosing a staff size of 19.1?
TIA
Joram
If anyone is interested, I once combined a list of rastral sizes, the LP
feta sizes and integer pt sizes into this table (sorry, the purpose is
in German).
