I'm sorry, I meant to send my message to the list with you in cc, but
I hit the wrong button...

This clarifies the matter, indeed.

Best wishes.

Hi,

Davide wrote me a similiar mail, asking whether it's a bug in the
docs. cc-ing him

But I don't thinks so.

Let me quote:
"To set the staff size globally for all scores in a file (or in a
\book block, to be precise), use set-global-staff-size"

I rather think it's misleading.

It means:
"To set the staff size globally for all scores in a file (or all
scores in a \book block, to be precise, because LilyPond wraps all
toplevel scores in a book anyway), use set-global-staff-size at
top-level".
Probably one should add:
If a file contains multiple books every books staff-size may be set by
inserting set-global-staff-size right before the relevant book.

Or similar, I'm not a native speaker ...



Cheers,
  Harm

Hi Thomas,

That's good to know.
The documentation got me going on using-it inside \book{}s.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size

Yes, of course.

Thanks Thomas,
Have a good day

Yep, set-global-staff-size _must_ be set at top-level, outside of \book.

Though:

#(set-global-staff-size 4)
\book { { \tempo 4=120 c'4 } }

#(set-global-staff-size 14)
\book { { \tempo 4=120 c'4 } }

#(set-global-staff-size 24)
\book { { \tempo 4=120 c'4 } }

works here.
