What worked for me was:

\paper {
  \context {
    \LyricsContext
    \override StanzaNumber #'font-size = #2
   }
}

You also seemed to be saying that you had to do resizing of each piece 
of markup by hand; if I'm not misunderstanding the problem, you could do 
something like:

\context {
  \ScoreContext
  \override TextScript #'font-size = #2
}

Hope this helps.
