Meaning, not lyrics, but the notes. Suppose I want to shrink a whole score by a few percent so that it takes one page less?

Or in piano + solo instrument, it's customary to print the solo slightly smaller in the score. How do I do that?

You probably want http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Setting-the-staff-size#Setting-the-staff-size

#(set-global-staff-size 12)

or more likely, \new staff \with {fontSize = #-2} which is very cleverly hidden in the section on Ossia Staves http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Ossia-staves#Ossia-staves

or \set fontSize = #-2, which is hidden away at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Changing-context-default-settings#Changing-context-default-settings
