Hi Mark,
Looks like Hairpins have their own sizing properties. A full list is at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/internals/hairpin but in this
case looks like height is probably the one you want used something like
this:
\version "2.24.0"
\relative c'' {
<<
\new Staff \with {
\magnifyStaff #2/3
} { c4 c c c c c c c }
\new Dynamics \with {
fontSize = #-5
\override Hairpin.height = #0.4
} { s\p s-\markup sostenuto s s s\< s s s\! }
>>
}
The default height value is 0.6666 so 0.4 is a rough approximation of 2/3
the default. Adjust to taste.
