Hi,

Davide wrote me a similiar mail, asking whether it's a bug in the
docs. cc-ing him

But I don't thinks so.

Let me quote:
"To set the staff size globally for all scores in a file (or in a
\book block, to be precise), use set-global-staff-size"

I rather think it's misleading.

It means:
"To set the staff size globally for all scores in a file (or all
scores in a \book block, to be precise, because LilyPond wraps all
toplevel scores in a book anyway), use set-global-staff-size at
top-level".
Probably one should add:
If a file contains multiple books every books staff-size may be set by
inserting set-global-staff-size right before the relevant book.

Or similar, I'm not a native speaker ...



Cheers,
