Maybe the --ps and --pdf options in section 13.1 "Invoking lilypond"
in the 2.10 users' manual will help.

You can create two different input files. Or you can create one input
file with two different \book blocks and with two different toplevel
global staff size settings.

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.10.0"

#(set-global-staff-size 15)
\book {
  \score {
     c'4
  }
}

#(set-global-staff-size 22)
\book {
  \score {
     c''4
  }
}

%%% END %%%

Note that lilypond will write two different output files: foo.pdf and
also foo-1.pdf.

Is this what you're looking for?
