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? -- Karlin High Missouri, USA _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
