Hi David, you would increase your chance for an early and meaningful answer, if you'd post a minimal and _compilable_ code-example. I tested putting #(set-global-staff-size ...) into different books in the same file. It worked as documented in the NR up to 2.14.2 (although a warning was printed), 2.16 and above return strange things. Congratulations, you discovered a new bug (at least a quick glance on the tracker offered no matching issue) Nevertheless, I'd not use 'set-global-staff-size anyway. With 2.19.15 you could use \magnifyStaff or http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=862 may of some help as well -Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
