Thank you very much Valentin! 🙂 It works perfectly although as you said it looks extrange. I will add it to lilypond snippets in case someone has the same problem in the future.

Hello Robert,

the problem here is that the font-size property of the NoteHead is not
evaluated. (This happens from time to time, and I’m not sure why this is so.)

To get your callback working you can ensure that the font-size is calculated
by doing something like

    \override NoteHead.stencil =
    #(lambda (grob)
       (ly:grob-property grob 'font-size)
       (ly:note-head::print grob))

(the grob-property effectively just forces Lilypond to calculate the value).

Cheers,
Valentin
