I live in a "a4 country".
I always try to set the borders in my scores wide enough so that at least 
everything will be readable on both A4 and Letter pages, even though the score 
has been created and tested for a4 paper.

QUESTION:

This reminds of a question I have had for some time: I would like - for testing 
purposes - draw/print a box exactly around the page borders of my score. This 
way I want to be able to preview what a page would look like for example on a5 
paper, or on iPad or Postcard dimensions, even if I print it on a4 paper. Can 
this be achieved with some lilypond/scheme magick ?
