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:
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.
All the best, Torsten
==============================================
It's also suggested by the manual that #(set-global-staff-size) is limited in scope by the \book block. However, if you encase the book part inside one, as to limit where the function will scale, Lilypond flat out ignores it or uses the scaling setting of the same function if it exists outside the block.
