The relevant code can be found in the part pointed by James but in
order to not be confused by the "non relevant" (in this case) code,
here is a small example of what you want.

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "smaller" \with {
      % reduce the musical font size (musical symbols, such as note
      % heads, time signature, trills, etc.)
      fontSize = #-3
      % reduce the space between the lines of the staff (but also other
      % "staff-space" measured objects)
      \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
      % Personally I do not reduce the thickness, but if you want to:
      % \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -3)
    } {
      c'1
      % music
    }
    \new Staff = "normal" {
      c'1
    }

}

This is indeed stone age!  Current stable version is 2.14.2.
2.12 was out more than two years ago; there has been a lot of
improvements since 2.6.5!

Please seriously consider updating to 2.14.
It is also better because answers given on the mailing lists are using
the 2.14 syntax.

Cheers,
Xavier
