Hi list,

I'm trying to resize a gregorian style engraving. However what works
nicely for "normal" Staffs does not seem to work for gregorian.

See the following example:
<-- snip -- snip -- snip -- snip -->
\version "2.18.2"

\include "gregorian.ly"

music = \relative c { e e \[ d\melisma \flexa c\melismaEnd \] \divisioMinima
}

% normal size
\new VaticanaVoice {
  \clef "vaticana-fa2"
  \music
}

% bigger size
\new VaticanaVoice \with {
  fontSize = #5
  \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep 5)
} {
  \clef "vaticana-fa2"
  \music
}

You need to override StaffSymbol outside of the \with block.  You also need to specify its context:

% bigger size

\new VaticanaVoice \with {

  fontSize = #5

} {

  \override Staff.StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep 5)

  \clef "vaticana-fa2"

  \music

}

 

Hope this helps!
