After some searching and some dead ends (due to the fact that the standard lilypond snippet site doesn't open in qutebrowser), I can't seem to find a way of solving this one. I'm trying to get a single pdf with all different parts of the main score and the main score. After some testing done while the conductor score was being worked on, I set the global staff size to 11, which gives a nice fit for the conductor score. Now, that size is too small for the separate parts, making the entire score only take 1/3 of an A4 sheet. After some searching, I found in the documentation that you should use #(layout-set-staff-size) for individual parts. Problem with that is that doing this keeps the staff at the same global size and only makes the other elements of the staff larger. Also tried doing another #(set-global-staff-size) on the different bookpart and that makes the part score the correct size...While completely butchering the conductor score. Is this because #(set-global-staff-size) overrides everything or because what it does it's different than what #(layout-set-staff-size) does? There's not much information on the regular documentation apart from what boils down to:

- To change the size of everything, you use #(set-global-staff-size)

- Otherwise, use #(layout-set-staff-size) for changing the size of each part individually.

================================

After more wrestling with the documentation and snippets, still no clue. None of the other methods used or demonstrated produce the same result #(set-global-staff-size) does. The fonts are too small, lines too thin, dynamic marks and expressions are too far away from the notes... The \book block doesn't seem to do anything... And so on.

Is there no other way to do what #(set-global-staff-size) does at a local level?
