I don't think layout-set-staff-size ever worked in a manner people expected it to. It retains some globally set sizes and changes some other ones. People are usually advised to use global-set-staff-size : maybe layout-set-staff-size only makes sense in a score markup? There you would not want to use global-set-staff-size I think? -- David Kastrup
