Thanks for your response.

For dynamics within the staff that isn't necessary, as \magnifyStaff 
works fine.

\version "2.19.63"
\score {
<<
  \new Staff \with { \magnifyStaff #(magstep -2) }
  \relative c' { c\p\< c c c\f }
  >>
}

The issue is changing the size of a separate dynamics staff. Changing 
the font size was my solution in 2.18,

\version "2.18.2"
<<
  \new Staff \with {
    fontSize = -3
    \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
    \override StaffSymbol.thickness = #(magstep -3)
  }
  \relative c'' { c4 c c c}
  \new Dynamics \with {
    fontSize = -3
    \override Hairpin.height = #(magstep -3)
    \override Hairpin.thickness = #(magstep -3)
  }
  { s4\p\< s s s\f }
>>

but I was hoping to use 2.19's \magnifyStaff to simplify this.
