Comment #1 on issue 3948 by address@hidden: Change `magstep' to `font-size->magnification'.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3948

Actually, "font-size" is the misleading expression here where people would rather expect a point size. A "magstep", in contrast, maps well to some concept.

So I don't really think that this way of resolving the perceived inconsistency may be the best way to more intuitiveness.

I think it would be more intuitive if "font-size" was actually named "font-step" or "font-modifier" or something else.

However, such a change would of course be backward-incompatible in a big way, so we'd probably want to solicit input from the user list.

But that would be something that I'd consider more effective in the "more intuitive" department.
