Re: changing staff size in "\score" context

[Eby Mani]

Thanks, the file compiled with multiple "warning: cannot resolve rest 
collision: rest direction not set" errors in vocal part, where SA and TB rests 
are combined.

I'm using the following,

*****************************
global = {
  \tempoMark
  \tempo 8 = 132
  \key g \major
  \time 6/8
  \set Score.skipBars = ##t
\override Rest #'style = #'classical
\compressFullBarRests
\revert Rest #'direction
\revert MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position

}

******************************

Well, seems like the recent optional override syntax change catches on
like wildfire.

For versions before 2.17.6, this will need to be

    \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
    \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep 3)

If people forget the old syntax as fast as it appears, we'll probably
need to push out 2.18 rather soon, or nobody will be able to help the
poor sods stuck with 2.16 any more.  I don't think that a backport of
the backward-compatible parts of this patch set (basically only
\override and \revert) would be appropriate for a stable release series.
