ly2dvi provides fairly limited possibilities to adjust the
page layout. If you want more freedom to change the page
layout, I recommend lilypond-book, which lets you include
music scores in an ordinary LaTeX document. For your specific
problem, an alternative is to use linewidth to get the 
desired width of the music and then use the -O flag to 
dvips to adjust the horisontal position on the paper.
