Hi David,

Now I see what you mean and this shouldn't happen and I'd call it a bug.

As usual, a minimal (compilable) example would have helped enormously.
Here it is:

%%%%%
\version "2.19.81"

\header {
  title = \markup \abs-fontsize #20 "Absolute Font Size"
}

#(set-global-staff-size 18)
 \book { { b'1 } }


#(set-global-staff-size 14)
 \book { { b'1 } }


#(set-global-staff-size 26)
 \book { { b'1 } }
%%%%%

\abs-fontsize tries to get all kinds of scaling information via
ly:output-def-lookup, but apparently not enough for working correctly under
these circumstances.

All the best,
Torsten

All the best,
Torsten
