Out of curiosity: What exactly is the original format?

6x9" would be too close to A5 to gain much. B5 is probably a bit on
the large side, but a nice general paper size for music.

Or, conversely, that staffsize 18 is too large for A5.
I typeset choral music, so my constraints are different than yours,
but I use staff-size 18 for A4. I've used smaller, too, for A4.
If A5 isn't too small a page size, you could probably get by with a
staff-size as small 13 or 14, which is smaller than you need to get
wider margins.
