I read the OP as saying that layout-set-staff-size wasn't getting the
desired result.

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2018-06/msg00554.html>

"I found in the documentation that you should use
#(layout-set-staff-size) for individual parts. Problem with that is
that doing this keeps the staff at the same global size and only makes
the other elements of the staff larger."

And on closer examination, it looks like the code I posted is doing
the same thing that layout-set-staff-size does.

layout-set-staff-size
seems to do a conversion on the staff size value passed to it, then pass that to
layout-set-absolute-staff-size
which passes it with the (current-module) to
layout-set-absolute-staff-size-in-module

So if layout-set-staff-size isn't working for the OP, the code I
posted likely won't work either. Crimson Sunrise, could you verify
this? Check the PDF I posted.

That leaves the OP's question: what exactly is set-global-staff-size
doing that the other commands are not? Creating a new top-level \paper
context that supersedes whatever existed before?
