Setting paper size from the command line in Lily 2.4

[Chris Sawer]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to set the paper size of
Lilypond's output from the command line in version 2.4. In version 2.2, I
used to use --set=papersize="letter", however this option seems to have been
removed.

I thought that -e "(set-default-paper-size \"letter\")" might work, but I get
the following error message. I'm not sure if I'm trying the right approach
here, or maybe this is a bug. Are any gurus able to help?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
