Re: Overall (global) resizing difficulties

[Eluze]

well - I think it's described somewhere inta manual. here's a little function to facilitate the change of those 3 values:

staffSize = #(define-music-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
#{
  \set fontSize = #new-size
  \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
  \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep new-size)
#})
music = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
\new Staff \with {\staffSize #-16 } \music
\score {
  \new Staff \with {\staffSize #16 }   \music
}

Could you attach the problematic code, please?

I think this is an old and very strange problem, which is illustrated by the following code

\version "2.16.2"
music = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
 
\score {
	\new Staff {\music}
	\layout {#(layout-set-staff-size 80)}
}

\score {
	\new Staff {\music }
	\layout {#(layout-set-staff-size 5)}
}

It's difficult to see why anyone thinks that this (mis)function should even be in LilyPond.  The strangeness is only exacerbated by the fact that it's documented at the end of section 4.2.2 (Setting the Staff Size) in the 2.16 Notation Reference:

Known issues and warnings

layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff lines. 


Maybe the documentation should address how the staff size can be changed without changing the distance between the staff lines.

 Has anyone encountered overall resizing issues when using:


\layout {
   #(layout-set-staff-size 15)
 }I have tried to use this to scale back several more involved scores (SATB+Organ accompaniment), but if I go any less that '16' for the staff size, my notes, time signatures, words, and clefs stop shrinking.


 This isn't so much a problem with snippets; I recreated it with simple things, and they didn't come out with the same problem.


 See attached for a visual.
