Re: changing staff-size throughout a score

I’m not sure “bizarre” was a necessary descriptor… On a mailing list (such as 
this one) where people are generously donating their time to help people who 
post, those kinds of words can often be counterproductive.

The following version does not require the creation of a new score.

%%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19"

\header {
  tagline = ##f
}

\layout {
  indent = 0
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
    \omit TimeSignature
  }
}

{
  c'4 d' e' f' g' a' b' c''
  \stopStaff \startStaff \magnifyStaff #(magstep -3)
  \repeat unfold 13 { s1 }
}
%%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

I hope that helps.
Kieren.
