Attached is a patch which adds "SmallStaff" to engraver-init.ly.
Everywhere that \accepts "Staff" was used I just added \accepts
"SmallStaff". Let me know if this looks good.
I've never tried to change the documentation so I'm not quite sure
where to start with that. Should there just be an entry in the 'news'
section? Should there be other content? Once I've tested my changes to
the docs I'll add that to the patch.
