Hi Janek & Bill,
thanks for your replies! Both do basically what I was trying to get, but
Janek's suggestion is more elegant.
Just for the record: I have seen the set-global-staff-size before, but
since there is more than one score in a book, I went with the
layout-set-staff-size parameter which according to the manual
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Setting-the-staff-size)
should do the same as the global parameter but just for a single \layout
directive.
However, if I use the layout-set-staff-size, everything seems to be
scaled except the spaces between the lines within a staff. That doesn't
look good at all. That's why I thought the set-***-size parameters just
control very individual parts of the score.
Anyway, now I'm not sure it's really meant that way.
Also, if I use the set-global-staff-size parameter in a
book-environment, I get an error in the console ("unexpected SCM_TOKEN")
but the parameter works anyway ...
Thanks again and best wishes,
Robert

What's happening right now is that, if space becomes too small, the
space between the staffs is reduced while the notes themselves stay in
their size, s.t. the staffs are just being "pushed into each other".
I'm not sure if i understood correctly, but maybe
#(set-global-staff-size 15)
?
HTH,
