View source for Changing the staff size

The simplest way to resize staves is to use

  #(set-global-staff-size <var>size</var>)

To resize an individual staff’s size, you can use the properties <code>staff-space</code> and <code>fontSize</code>.

<lilypond version="2.24">
<<
  \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)
  } \relative c {
    \clef bass c8 c c c c\f c c c
  }
>>
</lilypond>
