Hi Eluze,

I read Greg's post different.

Currently `powerChordSymbol´ is defined in /ly/chord-modifiers.ly and
finally used with `powerChords´ from `/ly/property-init.ly´

`powerChordSymbol´ is defined:

powerChordSymbol = {
  <c g>-\markup { \normal-size-super "5" }
  <c g c'>1-\markup { \normal-size-super "5" }
}

resulting in a normal-sized "5", not like other numbers in chords.

Therefore it is not a bug (it is indeed the intended behaviour),
though, Greg requests to give the "5" the same, smaller size and he
provides a method how to do it.

BTW, Greg refers to 2.14.2, though, it's the same with 2.17.15.

I think it's a legitimate feature request.
And I lean to agree with him.
