Re: Font sizes change on change of font

[Paul Hodges]

I'm not arguing - I'm trying to understand.  It is not clear to me from 
the reference manual that I have to put the default staff size in there. 
  My mind suggested that telling LilyPond what its own default is would 
be redundant, so the other (changed) value should go there.  It turns 
out it was wrong.

Anyway, following your instructions improves matters, though TNR is 
still substantially smaller than the default font; but it's acceptable 
now.

Thanks,
Paul
