I had been using \abs-fontsize but I was getting strange results when 
changing global-staff-size. The problem seems to be another....the headers 
in the second book have the same font size but spacing has gone sqiff. Using 
layout-set-staff-size in layout block has documented problem of staff lines, 
and using layout-set-staff-size in the \paper block has the same problem as 
the following minimal example. If I use \fontsize instead in the header 
block, headers scale correctly. But what I want are fixed sized headers.

\version "2.13.17"

\header {
 title = \markup { \abs-fontsize #18 "Title" }
 composer = \markup { \abs-fontsize #11 "Composer" }
 meter = \markup { \abs-fontsize #11 "Meter" }
}

theNotes = \relative c {
\clef "treble_8"
\key c \major
\time 4/4
 c d e f g a b c
}

#(set-global-staff-size 20)

\book { \score {
\new Staff { \theNotes }
\layout {
   %#(layout-set-staff-size 10)
   }
}}

#(set-global-staff-size 10)

\book { \score {
\new Staff { \theNotes }
\layout {
   %#(layout-set-staff-size 10)
    }
}}
