I got them.

I don't know how postscript works, but try creating this in a separate
file -- actually, this applies to just about everything. Don't try to
do all your tweaks in a file; start off with
----
mysymbol = \markup { \postscript #"blah blah"}
{ c'4_\mysymbol }
----
play with this small example until you have the tweak working, and then
add it to your real file.
2.8 pdf is 272 KB vs. 69 KB for 2.4
2.8 turns point-and-click on by default. In 2.4 PnC information
couldn't be included in pdf, but in 2.8 it can. Turning point-and-click
off should eliminate about 200 KB.

Why not use \header{} for all these? title, composer, etc.

I believe that the
\markup { "" \raise # ....
trick doesn't work any more. Try
\markup { \hspace #0 \raise #...
or just
\once \override TextScript #'padding = #2
\markup { ... }
Actually, what about making the above line this:
\once \override TextScript #'padding = #2
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #(-15 . 0)
bes4\p^\markup { \bold \italic { \huge "And" \raise #-0.1 \hspace #0.0
\tiny { "-" \hspace #-1.78 \raise #0.4 "-" \hspace #-2.4 \raise #1.1

"*" }}}}
\tag #'TREB {s4*0^\markup {"" \raise #0.0 { \hspace #1.5 {\huge \bold \italic
"*" }}}}
I would recommend using a TextSpanner for this.
\once \override Hairpin #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . 0.0)
This line does nothing.
You are very inventive when it comes to working around certain issues by
using \markup and extra spacing tweaks, but in most cases I think that
lilypond has more elegant solutions.
Have you read chapters 3 to 5 in the new docs? I highly recommend that
you read those chapters from the 2.9 docs -- don't worry, at the moment
(lilypond 2.9.10) those chapters apply to 2.8 just as much as 2.9.
Once you've read those, try modifying one of your scores (don't deal
with all three versions at the same time) with those tips in mind. Then
send it to me again, and I'll make any additional comments.
Cheers,
