I have a score with this in it:
#(set-default-paper-size "letter")

I assume that does it. I am working from another hymn that I have hacked up.

I do it like this:
#(set-global-staff-size 20.5)

That seems to adjust the staff size. Just a bit larger and it bleeds 
onto the second page.

Neither of these do I really know much about, but they seem to do the 
trick for me. I am in the process of learning this. Learning a handful 
of stuff each day. Just have not gotten around to what these 2 lines 
mean, they just seem to do the job.

Hope this helps and gets me on the track to being able to help instead 
of always asking questions.
