I added the "initialpagenumber" parameter to make lilypond start on
other page numbers than 1. The code seems to be working so I commited
it to cvs. There is one catch, thought, the page number in the first
page is printed if this option is used.

Before I add this parameter to the doc, I'd like to know what you think
about the name. I prefer it better than "pagenumber".

The following code should work with lily cvs:

\bookpaper{
    initialpagenumber = 13
}

\score {
    \notes {
        \repeat unfold 1000 {c}
    }
}
