I'd use something like:
SoloPartSize = #-1
\score {
<<
\new Staff \with {
% smaller notation font
fontSize = #SoloPartSize
% make the distance between staff lines smaller as well
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep SoloPartSize)
} \soloMusic
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \rightHandMusic
\new Staff \leftHandMusic
>>
>>
}
