Unfortunately, it's a little more complicated in 2.18.2, but the
development version has:
4.2.2 Setting the staff size
3. To set the staff size for a single staff within a system,
use the \magnifyStaff command.
For example, traditionally engraved chamber music scores
with piano often used 7mm piano staves while the other
staves were typically between 3/5 and 5/7 as large (between
60% and 71%). To achieve the 5/7 proportion, use:
\score {
<<
\new Staff \with {
\magnifyStaff #5/7
} { ... }
\new PianoStaff { ... }
>>
}
If you happen to know which fontSize you wish to use,
you could use the following form:
\score {
<<
\new Staff \with {
\magnifyStaff #(magstep -3)
} { ... }
\new PianoStaff { ... }
>>
}
To emulate the look of traditional engraving, it is best
to avoid reducing the thickness of the staff lines.
Cheers,
David.
