What should it be good for? \smallmusicsize is already hard to play
or hard to read. \tinynotesize (13pt) is used for typesetting ornaments
with \normalmusicsize, \tinynotesize (11pt) with \smallmusicsize.
If you introduce \tinymusicsize you need a \tinynotesize for this
size of music. Do you think that an 8pt music font is readable?

If you want reduced output e.g. for pocket-scores you may do the 
reduction when displaying or printing the dvi-file. E.g. with emTeX 
you may use the parameter file @2a4_a4.cnf which reduces two A4-pages 
onto one A4 sheet with +magnification:*707 [*]. The neccessary fonts 
are then computed.
