On the one hand, \scale is completely independent of font-sizes and will work without much ado. On the other hand, the Feta font (used for dynamics, fingering, accidentals) will automatically pick a suitable design size depending on the font-size, whereas scale will just geometrically scale the glyphs. So, generally speaking, using \magnify (and thus setting the font size) still is the "proper" way for changing the size of a font, even if "modern" scalable fonts won't make a difference. But, from a typographer's point of view, a 6 pt font is not a 12 pt font scaled down by a factor of 0.5.
