Changing the size of individual staves
You can change the size of individual staves independently of other staves and your layout settings. For example, piano accompaniment parts often include the solo line of the instrument the piano is accompanying on a smaller staff.
You can change the size of individual staves to a set scale size, expressed as a percentage of the normal staff size in the layout, or set a custom scale.
If you want to change the staff size to represent an alternative version of a passage, you can instead add an ossia staff, which you can show for specific regions.
Procedure
Result
The size of the selected staff is changed. This also works in combination with the other ways of changing the staff size, such as changing the size of all staves in the layout or changing the size of staves from a specific point.
