% lilypond paper default is A4
\layout {
%#(set-default-paper-size "letter")
#(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'landscape ) }
is what I do -- in the defaults.ly file included via
\include "../defaults.ly"
in all the music I do to get letter, instead of A4 paper. The
"'landscape" is to print across the width instead of 'portrait'.
If -- as I think is the case -- your problem is that you don't have a
"concert' to replace the "letter" with, in paper.scm -- which is in
/pathtotoplevel/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm on linux -- you
need to add the 'concert' paper type, as below.
(define-public paper-alist
;; don't use decimals.
;; ISO 216 has a tolerance of +- 2mm
'(("a7" . (cons (* 74 mm) (* 105 mm)))
("a6" . (cons (* 105 mm) (* 149 mm)))
("a5" . (cons (* 149 mm) (* 210 mm)))
("a4" . (cons (* 210 mm) (* 298 mm)))
("a3" . (cons (* 298 mm) (* 420 mm)))
("legal" . (cons (* 8.5 in) (* 14.0 in)))
("letter" . (cons (* 8.5 in) (* 11.0 in)))
("11x17" . (cons (* 11.0 in) (* 17.0 in)))
("concert" . (cons (* 9.0 in) (* 12.0 in)))
))
Once you've done that,
\layout { #(set-default-paper-size "concert" ) }
in your defaults.ly file ought to do it.
