Question about @lilypond options for creating smaller page examples within our Doc |

Hello,
While editing the NR 3.2 section on Titles and Headers it seems it would be
nice to be able to create 'smaller' (or rather, shorter) ' whole page output'
when processing @lilypond examples, so as to show simple things like page
breaks, tag lines and headers and footers without having to display a whole
Letter/A4 page of blank space.
I've takne a look in the usage documents for lilypond-book and Texinfo but I
need some advice.
It seems to me that I cannot create an explicit output size by specifying
height and width dimensions, like I can specify a line length within a
@lilypond [xxx] variable.
So I thought that if we had a 'custom' entry in the scm/paper.scm file - I
experimented with some sizes and it seems that having a height of 35mm is
enough to get a line of music, a header/title and a footer - that we could
simply refer to that within the @lilypond [xxx] variables. But I cannot see
what option to use or if it is possible.
I could just explicitly put a \paper {} variable within the @lilypond construct
but this isn't as neat and I can't see which option to use in the @lilypond
[xxx] variable to force it to use the \paper {} either.
Thanks for your help.
James
