Re: Change text font size globally

Setting the default staff size is straightforward, but I no longer can
remember how to set the default text size in the 2.24.x series (and I
didn't succeed in looking it up in the `lilypond-user` archive).

[Being bad at Scheme I also didn't succeed to define a macro
`\absmarkup` that works at the top level as a substitute for
`\markup`.]

Any takers?

Yes.

Yes, by setting the `text-font-size` paper variable.

What about upgrading?
