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! Andrew On 7/04/

So far (version 2.4.x and earlier apart from a few 2.3.xx), the final output is produced by dvips and ps2pdf and if you run lilypond --verbose, you will notice that lilypond tells them what papersize to produce based on the setting of papersizename.
