Using version 2.18.2, I found that "#(set-global-staff-size 10)" inserted
at the book level scales everything on the page nicely. Ditto for a big
size like 40. But "\score{ … \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 10) } }"
has unpredictable results. The documentation at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation-big-page#setting-the-staff-size
doesn't make a distinction. I hadn't thought to try them both. Thanks for
the suggestion, Harm.
