The Feta font provides musical symbols at eight different sizes. Each font is tuned for a different staff size: at a smaller size the font becomes heavier, to match the relatively heavier staff lines. The recommended font sizes are listed in the following table:
font name | staff height (pt) | staff height (mm) | use
|
feta11 | 11.22 | 3.9 | pocket scores
|
feta13 | 12.60 | 4.4 |
|
feta14 | 14.14 | 5.0 |
|
feta16 | 15.87 | 5.6 |
|
feta18 | 17.82 | 6.3 | song books
|
feta20 | 17.82 | 7.0 | standard parts
|
feta23 | 22.45 | 7.9 |
|
feta26 | 25.2 | 8.9 |
|
These fonts are available in any sizes. The context property
fontSize
and the layout property staff-space
(in
StaffSymbol) can be used to tune size for individual
staves. The size of individual staves are relative to the global size,
which can be set in the following manner:
#(set-global-staff-size 14)
This sets the global default size to 14pt staff height, and scales all fonts accordingly.
