The last call to set-global-staff-size affects the current \book. You can then re-call the command if you explicitly callout another \book after that, but that generates a separate output file for each \book block. I'm not sure why this doesn't work within the same \book. Here's an example that shows what I mean: #(set-global-staff-size 26) \book { \markup "First" \score { \relative { c d e } } } #(set-global-staff-size 14) \book { \markup "Second" \score { \relative { e f g } } } Sorry this isn't exactly what you want, but maybe this will spawn some development to make multiple calls to set-global-staff-size work within the same \book.
