Hi Elaine,
This is no longer true for the current LilyPond unstable versions and the new soon-to-come 2.20 stable version. That's why it's always important to mention the version (and I've included the verison statement \version "2.19.81" in my minimal example).
When you look at my images or at Karlin's PDFs, it is clearly visible that the saff-size actually changes.
The documentation, unfortunately, has not been updated yet and still claims that the distance between lines didn't change: "*Known issues and warnings* layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff lines. "
The documentations should be updated in that respect.
Which is why I stated before that the documentation lies to the user. If the user is looking for something like global-set-staff-size but for single staves like I was, he will search for that, see that the manual (for both stable and unstable) that states effectively that layout-staff-size does the same thing as the former but for individual scores when it doesn't, ignore the single line that talks about the staff lines at the very end of the page, then sit there confused because what he expected to happen is not what the manual said it would.
Moreso, these functions shouldn't even have similar names. As that single line at the end states, layout-staff-size doesn't change the distance between staff lines, so you're not resizing the staff completely. Why that is the case and why it was implemented that way is anybody's guess.
