Hello,

Do you want to set the global staff size so that you have a precise staff
height and scale everything (note heads, stems, texts, titles) accordingly?
In that case, as mentioned in NR 4.2.2 Setting the staff size:
The default staff size is 20 points, which corresponds to a staff height of
7.03mm (one point is equal to 100/7227 of an inch, or 2540/7227 mm).

So if you want a staff height of, say, 10mm you should set the global staff
size to 20*10/7.03 = 28.45 points.
#(set-global-staff-size 28.45)

It is also possible to set the staff size for a single score or set the
staff size for a single staff within a system or alter the distance between
staff lines only as explained in NR 4.2.2 or NR 1.6.2.

Kind regards,
Xavier
