Editing Changing the staff size

Though the simplest way to resize staves is to use <code>#(set-global-staff-size <var>size</var>)</code>, an individual staff’s size can be changed by scaling the properties <code>staff-space</code> and <code>fontSize</code>.

  \new Staff {
    \relative c'' {
      \dynamicDown
      c8\ff c c c c c c c
    }
  }
  \new Staff \with {
    fontSize = #-3
    \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
  } {
    \clef bass
    c8 c c c c\f c c c
  }
