RE: Change Chord Name Font Size

[Kamal]

As Mats said, I tried the \property lines, but it gave error in lilypond
2.6.

Isn't there an easier way to find what how to change the chord font size
than to get an old version of lilypond, & then convert to to 2.6 especially
that I'm working on Windows & I didn't find an already compiled binary of
lilypond 2.0 or less for Windows?

Thank you.
