4.1.1 Paper size
Two functions are available for changing the paper size:
set-default-paper-size and set-paper-size.
set-default-paper-size must be placed in the toplevel
scope, and set-paper-size must be placed in a \paper
block:
#(set-default-paper-size "a4")
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "a4")
}
set-default-paper-size sets the size of all pages, whereas
set-paper-size only sets the size of the pages that the
\paper block applies to. For example, if the \paper
block is at the top of the file, then it will apply the paper size
to all pages. If the \paper block is inside a
\book, then the paper size will only apply to that book.
Common paper sizes are available, including a4,
letter, legal, and 11x17 (also known as
tabloid). Many more paper sizes are supported by default. For
details, see ‘scm/paper.scm’, and search for the
definition of paper-alist.

Extra sizes may be added by editing the definition of
paper-alist in the initialization file
‘scm/paper.scm’, however they will be overridden on a
subsequent install.
If the symbol 'landscape is supplied as an argument to
set-default-paper-size, pages will be rotated by 90
degrees, and wider line widths will be set accordingly.
#(set-default-paper-size "a6" 'landscape)
Setting the paper size will adjust a number of \paper
variables, such as margins. To use a particular paper size with
altered \paper variables, set the paper size before setting
the variables.
