My current project is a quartet. The score and each of the 4 parts are in separate \book blocks.
I have #(set-global-staff-size 16) before the score \book, and #(set-global-staff-size 20) before the first of the 4 part \book blocks which follow. Today I turned my attention to formatting the titles etc. which come at the top the first page of each book. Because I did not find the default layout very satisfactory, I decided to rewrite 'bookTitleMarkup' (using the default in titling-init.ly as a starting point), and my version is now included in a global /paper block before any of the /book blocks. Of course, I then realized that the different staff sizes between the score and parts affects the titles also. I was able to restore the titles in the score to the size I want by adding '\fontsize #2' to each of the title items. So far so good. However, after a lot of experimenting I have not found a way to increase the baseline-skip value just for the titles in the score. Perhaps someone can tell me how to achieve this. But is there perhaps a better way of getting the titles to appear the same size in the score and parts, despite the different staff sizes in the music that follows the titles?
