Hi Till Here's a clue that might help:
% Reduce notes and staff fontSize = #-2 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -2) This reduces the size of the notes and the distance between the staff lines to match the reduced note size. Change the two -2s to suit your needs, but keep them the same value.

The sizes of individual staves are relative to the global size." and "Known issues and warnings: layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff lines." If I click on the link to the StaffSymbol documentation, there is no staff-space property mentioned, well, it seems to be hidden in this y-extent, which is then explained by x-extent. But x-extent is missing. I would really much like to know the numbers that are used for the default so I can increase/decrease them accordingly. Why is the lyout-set-staff-size by the way changing only font size, while global-layout-set-staff-size works correctly?
