You're right... I thought that \paper was simply renamed to \layout, 
but I
guess it's more complicated than that.  Anyway, I tried this:

\paper {
  hsize = 4.4\in
  vsize = 4.4\in
}

and the paper size (as displayed by Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 on Mac OS
X) is still 8.26 x 11.69 in, but the formatting is messed up.  The 
staves are
shifted to the left about 2 (maybe 2.2?) inches—there's a big gap at 
the right
side, and the lines are cut off at the left.  Also, only 2–3 staves are 
printed
on each page, compared to 4–6 previously.

Any ideas what's going on, and how I can set a custom paper size?  (Are 
there
other variables that need to be set in \paper?)
