Comment #4 on issue 216 by v.villenave: Enhancement: the ability to change  
staff line spacing inside a \layout{} block
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=216

I'm reopening this as Mats suggested:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2009-12/msg00333.html

"""
the limitation that also the vertical spacing gets wrong should also be  
documented,
unless we can fix the underlying problems with layout-set-staff-size.  The  
question
has appeared a sufficient number of times on the mailing lists so make it  
worth a
serious bug report, at least.  If we don't expect layout-set-staff-size to  
work
properly in the forseeable future, why not simply remove it altogether  
since it's not
better than setting fontSize?
"

"""
The smallest thing we could do would be to show a workaround like the one I  
included
below (or at least point to a more complete example like the second Ossia  
example in
section 1.6.2 "Modifying single staves"):

If you want to get the correct staff spacing when using  
layout-set-staff-size, you
could use
\score{
 \relative c'{c4 d e f g f e d c1 }
\layout{
 #(layout-set-staff-size 15)
 \context{
  \Staff
  \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(/ 15 20)
 }
}
}

but it still gives too wide vertical spacing.
