There's a difference between
#'1.5
and
#1.5}
This is a user error, not a documentation problem.

The user error was actually in the quoting in my email: I'd tried
both #'1.5 and #1.5 and neither had worked. Thanks to those who
pointed out the requirement for white space between the font size
specification and the curly brace: #'1.5 }

In the PDF documentation for 2.12.3 and the online documentation for 2.13.16
it gives the syntax for reducing staff spacing as:
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #1.5
If I use this syntax, I get an error:
error: syntax error, unexpected '{'
\new Staff \with {\override StaffSymbol

Greetings, Phil -
Looks like you're trying too hard. The following compiled nicely:
\new Staff \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #'1.5
{ c'' c'' c''
c'' }
Notice : 1) no added {} ; and 2) no \with. I just used \override
StaffSymbol
