You can at the very least do

\paper {
  text-font-defaults = #(acons 'font-size 6 text-font-defaults)
}

This one has the effect of effectively prefixing any markup with \fontsize #6 
(or 
whatever). It will affect a lot of stuff though.

But if I understand you, Dimitri, correctly, you want to have all standalone 
\markups increased in size, while everything else remains the same. What you 
can do is to change the procedure toplevel-text-handler, which is responsible 
for handling such markups (and if you use books or bookparts also book-text-
handler, bookpart-text-handler):

#(define toplevel-text-handler
   (lambda (mups)
     (collect-scores-for-book
      (map (lambda (mup) (markup #:abs-fontsize 20 mup)) mups))))

This will use the same action for all toplevel markups, but will add a \abs-
fontsize ... in front of the markup(list).

Cheers,
Valentin
