I have a large set of solo arrangements that use
#(set-global-staff-size XX)
where XX varies somewhat from arrangement to
arrangement. This is set following a paper block
and before the score block in each separate file.
I would now like to combine these into a book
by merging the files and using a book block around
the scores, but I need to maintain the varying
staff size. I tried using:
\layout {#(layout-set-staff-size XX )}
within each score, but I got very different
results. Apparently the units implied in these
two statements is different, the first being
points and the second being mm. Do I understand
this correctly?
*But* when I convert to what should be the same
size, I still get a different
result. Some sizes are right
but others are not. It appears that the
#layout-set-staff-size does not set sizes for the same
classes of things as set-global-staff-size. set-global-staff-size
scales everything, while #layout-set-staff-size does
not scale the staff itself (only the notes) and text seems
inconsistent between titles and markup. There may
be other differences I haven't identified.
How can I maintain the varying staff sizes that
I need across a book of scores? Is there something
I can set instead of #layout-set-staff-size, or in
addition to it? Some other approach entirely?
Thanks for any help,
