Halving the size...

Hi folks,

I have managed to create a number of reasonable scores in Lilypond (e.g. http://www.ivimey.org/ThereIsAGreen.pdf) but I need them to be much smaller, in the sense of a general reduction in size. Changing font size doesn't do it. The reason is that the current scores fit on an A4 sheet, but I need them to fit on about 2/3 of an A5. The score above came from the file below (note: it's intentionally missing 3 verses).

How do I scale the whole thing?
