I’m working on a project that involves one full size staff and several smaller 
staves providing cues for other instruments.  I’m using \magnifyStaff to 
accomplish this, but it seems to be adjusting the horizontal spacing in ways 
that I’m not liking.  My hope is to have the spacing largely determined by the 
full-size staff (except in circumstances where the more space is needed to fit 
a more active line in the cues).

In the example below, the score using the different sizes seems to be taking 
it’s spacing from smaller staff.  I first noticed this when I saw that the clef 
and time signature for the full-size staff were much closer together than they 
would normally be, but the note spacing is clearly different when compared with 
the second score in the example.

I have been able to adjust SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment to make the note 
spacing a bit better, but it was largely trial and error.  Doubling the default 
value didn’t quite work out.  Adjusting the clef/time signature issue involved 
changing Clef.spacing-alist.time-signature back to the default.

Am I missing something, or is this just the current state of affairs with using 
\magnifyMusic?

%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.52"

music = {
  \repeat unfold 16 {f'16}
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "full-size" \music
    \new Staff \with {
      \magnifyStaff #1/2
    } \music
  >>
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \music
    \new Staff \music
  >>
}
