have a look at the space-alist properties of the Clef, KeySignature  
and the TimeSignature objects. looks like there are a number of  
properties there which are fixed staff-sizes. changing these values  
compresses the spacing of the Clef, TimeSignature and KeySignature  
objects. the properties have names which are fairly comprehensible,  
however you will have to experiment to find the exact values you want.
