I'm trying to put quite a long table in my thesis. To save some space I want to reduce the row height, the column separator and use a smaller font size in the table. The problem with the following code is that it affects the caption too.
\begingroup
\tiny \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.8} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{3pt}
\begin{longtable}[c]{r*{13}{c}}
...
\caption{lipsum}
\end{longtable}
\endgroup
I was not able to use egreg's answer in How to change font size of longtable-lines without changing font size of caption? Probably because I use a different document class. I use a custom (who would have figured?) thesis class of my department which is based on memoir. It gives me
! Undefined control sequence.
\LT@makecaption ...#3->\noalign {\if@captionabove
\vskip \belowcaptionskip \...
l.145 \caption{Caption}
MWE (without the code from egreg's answer resulting in the above undefined control sequence):

So my question is: How can I make local changes (font size, row height, column width) to a longtable without affecting anything else in the document including the longtable captions?
Best Answer
I would also suggest to use
caption.sty. I suggest you put your caption above yourlongtableand use the facilities provided bycaption.styto customize it. This means you can use\captionand not\captionof. I would also dropmultirowand usemakecell(see below):
