As far as reducing the size of the
paper,
if it you just need to reduce it
without any change in the layout,
it is easy to do it at the level of the
PDF output.
Just print the PDF output to a new PDF
with a certain percentage of scaling and choosing a personal page
size (or choosing the page size and fit to page) will do the
trick.

Gilles Thibout made a very well lilypond library what handles all
you are asking for.
It has a steep learning line(at least my experience). Once
the notes of your composition are written down, you do not need
to copy them again.
Check it out, it might be what you need.

I have created my first full score for brass
band and euphonium solo using Lilypond (and Frescobaldi).
The score looks wonderful; I've had it bound at a local
print shop and it looks downright professional. There are
a number of things to correct and I've created an issue
for each and will correct them and reengrave. Being a
professional computer programmer, I went to the trouble of
checking everything into a code repository (github) to
ensure I can track all my changes and not lose all this
work if my computer decides to die.
I've ordered the Lilypond manual from Lulu and plan
to read through it to learn more about Lilypond; I do
much better with printed media rather than electronic.
but have questions:
- I'd like to place line and page breaks in the
individual parts. Being a player, I appreciate when
consideration is taken as to where page breaks fall.
I have individual files for each part with the
"notes" in a separate file and the score
bringing everything together. Is it possible to
place breaks in the part so it does not affect the
score?
- The score looks best on 11" x 17" paper but
the first print shop I contacted could not spiral
bind anything that large (I found another shop which
could do it and I'm glad I did). I set the paper
size in the score to 8.5" x 11" and while things can
fit, it is extremely cramped. Is there a setting to
reduce the size of everything (staves, notes,
dynamics, etc.) as I reduce the paper size?
- On the individual part, I'd like to place the
instrument name in the upper left corner of the
page. Currently, it is on the first staff.
- Can I place a header on the second and
following pages which would show the title and page
number of the piece in a smaller font than the first
page?
Perhaps all of this is in the manual which will be
arriving in the next few days. But any help or
direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help. I hope to start writing code
snippets and answering questions as I gain more
experience.
