Hi all,

I've come across a little problem that I don't know how to fix. I've
changed the text font in a vocal score by using the scheme #define font
procedure, and have noticed that if I subsequently use
#(set-global-staff-size) *after* the \paper block, the font reverts back to
the default. It doesn't do this if I use #(set-global-staff-size) *before *the
paper block.

This is a little annoying, because I would like to use a global \paper
block for all the motets in the edition, but still be able to tweak the
staff sizes for each score somewhat to achieve consistent system counts
(which messes up the font setting if I do it before each \score in the
file). I am also using a global \layout block, so I can't put the staff
size setting there either (unless someone can show me a way of defining *some
*layout settings in a global variable file without freaking Lilypond out -
I have tried but not succeeded.)

 A sample file is attached. Just toggle the staff-sizing commands before
and after the \paper block to see how the header font changes.

I would appreciate any help!

Regards,

Brent.
