Possibly answering my own question,
Metric Royal is 237 x 312, and if I measure better Henle is 234 x 309.
It's standard in printing to use 3mm trim, so Metric Royal trimmed is
the exact size. Can anybody familiar with the music publishing/printing
industry confirm?
Thanks!

Greetings List,
I measure my Henle Verlag books of Bach to be 235 x 309mm (+/- 1mm)
[9.25 x 12.17 inches]. I rather like this size, but I cannot find it
referred to as a standard paper size anywhere at all. Do my learned
colleagues here know what size it is, or is it a trim down of a larger
standard? Any help appreciated. It's almost 3:4 proportions but not
quite, and the Henle books do appear to be exactly trimmed and all the
same size.
I personally find this size to be the ideal for music, A4 too small
for me, and A3 generally too big to sit nicely on the music desk.
Andrew
