What does it mean if musical notes are written in smaller font than the rest?
It’s not a part of cue. It looks like this:

In this context, the smaller black notes represent notes only playable by an instrument with more than three valves. Without a fourth valve, the gap between the low F# (all three valves depressed) and the instrument’s pedal notes (the ‘fundamental’ tones; the 7 semitones descending from the written ‘C’ below middle C) will be not be available due to a lack of tubing through extra valves.
