This seems a promising idea, and I was cross with myself that I had not spotted \abs-fontsize for myself. But now that I have tried it, I am getting a bizarre result: the titles in the score are as specified in my version of bookTitleMarkup; but although the parts have the correct font-sizes, both vertical spacing of the lines and horizontal spacing of individual letters is abnormal, and is in proportion to the staff-size set. Try as I might, I can't work out why this is happening. The basic structure I have, missing out everything that appears to be irrelevant, is this: \version "2.18.0" %'include' file containing definition of myBookTitleMarkup titleStr = "Title" subtitleStr = "Subtitle" \paper { bookTitleMarkup = \myBookTitleMarkup } #(set-global-staff-size 16) \book { \bookOutputName "score" \header { title = \titleStr subtitle = \subtitleStr } \score { } \layout { } } #(set-global-staff-size 20) \book { \bookOutputName "part1" \header { title = \titleStr subtitle = \subtitleStr } \score { } \layout { } } %(Other parts follow) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
