Hi Ralph, I'm neither Crimson nor Sunrise, but I guess having both full score and parts together in one PDF is quite a common requirement.
Using smaller print for the full score but using larger print for the parts while keeping up natural spacing is not easy to achieve in LilyPond, because set-global-staff-size only works for whole books, i.e. separate output files. Here's a minimal example (without any attempt do alter score sizes yet) as a working basis for the implementation of different approaches: %%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.81" #(set-default-paper-size "a6") fluteI = { \repeat unfold 20 { c''8 e'' g'' e'' } \bar "|." } fluteII = { \repeat unfold 20 { c'4 g' } \bar "|." } \bookpart { \header { instrument = "Full Score" } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Fl. 1" } \fluteI \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Fl. 2" } \fluteII >> } } \bookpart { \header { instrument = "Flute 1" } \score { \new Staff \fluteI } } \bookpart { \header { instrument = "Flute 2" } \score { \new Staff \fluteII } } %%%%%%%%%% First, there is the full score, containing Flute 1 and Flute 2. This full score should use smaller print, cf. #(set-global-staff-size 10) in a \book. The parts, however, should look as if printed with #(set-global-staff-size 20). And all within one single PDF. These extreme differences should make spacing problems obvious. How do you (to the list in general) handle such a case without using external PDF postprocessing programs? I'm usually working around the problem by using (at least) two PDF files - one for the full score and one (or even individual files) for the parts - for several reasons.
