Re: Concatenating LilyPond scores with different staff sizes.

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Richard,

I do not like to say such things, but read the docs:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size

set-global-staff-size is by definition used to set the staffsize globally. For 
affecting one specific score you want to use layout-set-staff-size.

Cheers,
Valentin
