Being new to Lilypond I'm impressed about the possibilities of this program.
My first sheet already looks good. However there is one thing that I want to change and I don't know how:
The first staff is very high (probably due to the four stanzas) and as a result I had to reduce the global staff size, such that the piece fits on one page. Is there a way to tell the program to reduce the size of that first staff?
