Hi!

Funny, I replied to exactly the same question on the LilyPond French
Users mailing list two months ago.

Within "\new FiguredBass":

  \override FiguredBass.BassFigure #'font-size = #-1

OR else  ou bien

  \layout {
    \context {
      \FiguredBass
      \override BassFigure #'font-size = #-1
    }
  }

Cheers,
Xavier
