No, I was just thinking you might be able to pick out the bit you need.
It looks like the relevant bit is
\markup
{ \postscript #"
gsave
initmatrix
1 setlinewidth 40 40 moveto 517 0 rlineto 0 760
rlineto -517 0 rlineto 0 -760 rlineto stroke
0.5 setlinewidth 45 45 moveto 507 0 rlineto 0 750
rlineto -507 0 rlineto 0 -750 rlineto stroke
grestore" }
That is, you can make a markup that draws (in this case two) boxes
around the page independently of the music on the page, using
postscript. That compiles on 2.19.43 I see.
