\version "2.19.35"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \with {
      instrumentName = "Example 1"
      \override InstrumentName.font-size = #(magnification->font-size 7/4)
      \magnifyStaff #4/7
    }
    << \relative c{ a b c d } >>
    \new Staff \with {
      instrumentName = "Example 2"
    }
    << \relative c{ a b c d } >>
  >>
  \layout{}
}
