Re: Font sizes change on change of font

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Paul. I'm sorry if I offended you. But it's just very simple to change 22 
to 20 and see if this solves the problem.

TNR is a smaller font than the Century Schoolbook clone Lilypond uses, so maybe 
you need to increase the scale further.

Then, you are not telling Lilypond it's default. The factor takes a number. The 
expression (/ a b) where a,b are two numbers is the number a/b. So basically 
you calculate the factor for the font to be proportional to the change in 
staffsize. E.g. if your staffsize is 10 (half the default) you use factor 1/2.
