0 is the normal size for all fonts in a style-sheet.
1 is the default font-size for LyricText.
This means that LyricText is 12% larger than the default font size in the
style sheet.
That is, the font size you get by default in LyricText is exactly the same
font size you would get if you did
\override LyricText.font-size = 1.
The reason this is somewhat confusing is because it is automatically
generated, and there are a number of different grobs that use the
font-interface and therefore have a font-size property. For example,
NoteName grobs have a font-size property, but their default font-size is
0, so it's not listed (because it is the style-sheet default). Same with
TextScript grobs.
