While at the subject...

To change the default fonts for a document, the advised code is:

  \paper  {
    myStaffSize = #20
    #(define fonts
      (make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman"
                            "Nimbus Sans"
                            "Luxi Mono"
                             (/ myStaffSize 20)))
  }

This a) requires an explicit variable setting for the staff size, and
b) suggests the statements must be executed (or re-executed with a
different value of myStaffSize) after a possible staff size selection.

The latter is not true, changing the staff size also scales the fonts.

We have #(set-global-staff-size ...) to designate the desired staff
size, so why is another size specification necessary?
