I found to my dismay that the old dvips a4 vs. letter paper ballship is still with us. I lost footers with 2.13.22 when printing on letter paper. The solution is to explicitly set the bottom margin. Setting the top margin is a good idea too. As long as the RL margins are adequate, a4 users will have no problems printing your stuff.
IMO more generous default margins would be a good idea. One who wants to live more dangerously can always change them. Say 1.27\cm? Did a little research. I hate research. Ledger lines are lines in a ledger, which originally meant a book which was supposed to remain at a certain location and not be moved about. Leger lines are light lines, not heavy lines. LilyPond makes leger lines heavier than staff lines to compensate for their being shorter. That increases general legibility at the cost of making them harder to distinguish from staff lines in some situations. You can't have everything, and the most important thing is to have them a different thickness whether heavier or lighter. IMO they are optimum. Ledger and leger are different words, with different meanings and different derivations from different languages. The confusion of leger with ledger is not merely a spelling error.
