As the discussion here seems to be stuck, I want to push it a bit :)

1) What about the name?
 SmallStaff? CueStaff? QuoteStaff?

2) There seems to be only one reference for font size and staff size,   
   \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #2/3
   fontSize = #(magnification->font-size 2/3)
 as Mark Polesky pointed out. Is this widely acceped?

3) Should this definition go to ly/engraver-init.ly, or should a 
seperate file
  be provided?

4) Where should this feature be documented? Is input.itely the right place?
