The following snippet is engraved differently depending on whether the #(set-global-staff-size 9) or #(layout-set-staff-size 9)
is in effect. The difference is that the "set-global-staff-size" command causes the piece to be engraved on a single page, while the "layout-set-staff size" command causes the piece to be engraved on two pages. The reason appears to be that the layout-set-staff-size command doesn't appear to actually change the staff sizes. It was my understanding from reading the Notation Manual that the only difference between these two commands was scope, the "global" version affecting the entire document while the "layout" version only affects the score it is contained in. (This problem arose when I wanted to combine several "pieces" into a single file but retain the earlier pagination, which depended upon different values of the "set-global-staff-size" parameter value. I have not yet been able to discover how to do the combination and retain the original pagination due to this difference in behavior.) Can anyone clarify? Thanks. \version "2.12.3" %#(set-global-staff-size 9) S = \relative g'{ \repeat unfold 10 { a4. gis8 a4 a8 gis a b c1~ c4 e4. dis8 e4 a8 gis a b gis1~ gis4 a4. gis8 a4 c8 b c a \break } } A = \relative b' { \repeat unfold 10 { R1*5/4 a4. gis8 a4 a8 gis a b c1 r4 e4. dis8 e4 fis8 gis a b c4. b8 c4 e8 d e c \break } } T = \relative b' { \repeat unfold 10 { a4 c e d b a4 c e d b c4 e g f d e4 gis b a gis! a4 e c a c \break } } global= { \tempo Allegro \time 5/4 } \score { \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff { \global \S } \new Staff { \global \A } \new Staff { \global \T } >> \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 9) } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
