### A.10.1 Font

`\abs-fontsize` size (number) arg (markup)

  Use size as the absolute font size to display arg. Adjusts `baseline-skip` and `word-space` accordingly.

  >     \markup {
  >       default text font size
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \abs-fontsize #16 { text font size 16 }
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \abs-fontsize #12 { text font size 12 }
  >     }

`\bold` arg (markup)

  Switch to bold font-series.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \bold
  >       bold
  >     }

`\box` arg (markup)

  Draw a box round arg. Looks at `thickness`, `box-padding` and `font-size` properties to determine line thickness and padding around the markup.

  >     \markup {
  >       \override #'(box-padding . 0.5)
  >       \box
  >       \line { V. S. }
  >     }

  Used properties:

  - `box-padding` (0.2)
  - `font-size` (0)
  - `thickness` (1)
`\caps` arg (markup)

  Copy of the `\smallCaps` command.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \caps {
  >         Text in small caps
  >       }
  >     }

`\dynamic` arg (markup)

  Use the dynamic font. This font only contains s, f, m, z, p, and r. When producing phrases, like ‘più f’, the normal words (like ‘più’) should be done in a different font. The recommended font for this is bold and italic.

  >     \markup {
  >       \dynamic {
  >         sfzp
  >       }
  >     }

`\finger` arg (markup)

  Set arg as small numbers.

  >     \markup {
  >       \finger {
  >         1 2 3 4 5
  >       }
  >     }

`\fontCaps` arg (markup)

  Set `font-shape` to `caps`

  Note: `\fontCaps` requires the installation and selection of fonts which support the `caps` font shape.

`\fontsize` increment (number) arg (markup)

  Add increment to the font-size. Adjusts `baseline-skip` accordingly.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \fontsize #-1.5
  >       smaller
  >     }

  Used properties:

  - `baseline-skip` (2)
  - `word-space` (1)
  - `font-size` (0)
`\huge` arg (markup)

  Set font size to +2.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \huge
  >       huge
  >     }

`\italic` arg (markup)

  Use italic `font-shape` for arg.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \italic
  >       italic
  >     }

`\large` arg (markup)

  Set font size to +1.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \large
  >       large
  >     }

`\larger` arg (markup)

  Increase the font size relative to the current setting.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \larger
  >       larger
  >     }

`\magnify` sz (number) arg (markup)

  Set the font magnification for its argument. In the following example, the middle A is 10% larger:

  >     A \magnify #1.1 { A } A

  Note: Magnification only works if a font name is explicitly selected. Use `\fontsize` otherwise.

  >     \markup {
  >       default
  >       \hspace #2
  >       \magnify #1.5 {
  >         50% larger
  >       }
  >     }

`\medium` arg (markup)

  Switch to medium font-series (in contrast to bold).

  >     \markup {
  >       \bold {
  >         some bold text
  >         \hspace #2
  >         \medium {
  >           medium font series
  >         }

  >         bold again
  >       }
  >     }

  >       default
  >       \normal-size-sub {

  >       }
  >     }

  Used properties:

  - `baseline-skip`
`\normal-size-super` arg (markup)

  Set arg in superscript with a normal font size.

  >       }
  >     }

  Used properties:

  - `baseline-skip`
`\normal-text` arg (markup)

  Set all font related properties (except the size) to get the default normal text font, no matter what font was used earlier.

  >     \markup {
  >       \huge \bold \sans \caps {
  >         huge bold sans caps
  >         \hspace #2
  >         \normal-text {
  >           huge normal
  >         }

  >         as before
  >       }
  >     }

`\normalsize` arg (markup)

  Set font size to default.

  >     \markup {

  >         this is very small
  >         \hspace #2
  >         \normalsize {
  >           normal size
  >         }
  >         \hspace #2
  >         teeny again
  >       }
  >     }

`\number` arg (markup)

  Set font family to `number`, which yields the font used for time signatures and fingerings. This font contains numbers and some punctuation; it has no letters.

  >     \markup {
  >       \number {
  >         0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . ,
  >       }
  >     }

`\replace` replacements (list) arg (markup)

  >     \markup \replace #'(("thx" . "Thanks!")) thx

`\roman` arg (markup)

  Set font family to `roman`.

  >     \markup {

  >         sans serif, bold
  >         \hspace #2
  >         \roman {

  >         sans serif
  >       }
  >     }

`\simple` str (string)

  A simple text string; `\markup { foo }` is equivalent with `\markup { \simple #"foo" }`.

  Note: for creating standard text markup or defining new markup commands, the use of `\simple` is unnecessary.

  >     \markup {
  >       \simple #"simple"
  >       \simple #"text"
  >       \simple #"strings"
  >     }

  >         Text in small caps
  >       }
  >     }

`\smaller` arg (markup)

  Decrease the font size relative to the current setting.

  >     }

`\sub` arg (markup)

  Set arg in subscript.

  >     \markup {
  >       \concat {
  >         H

`\underline` arg (markup)

  >     }

  Used properties:
