In the text formatting documentation at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/formatting-text,
when talking about the size of characters, the phrasing at one point
is: "the font size can be set to an absolute value with
\fontsize". Maybe this should be changed to something like "the font
size can be set to an particular numeric value with \fontsize", as
\fontsize is still relative to the staff size, and the size of the
font will change if the staff size changes.
Rather strangely, \abs-fontsize, which does set the absolute size of
the font without regard to the staff size, doesn't get a mention in
this section, but only in s.A.9.1.
