In my counterpoint workbook I use included lilypond files for the
exercises, each of which has the following parameters defined:

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##f
}

global = {
  #(set-global-staff-size 24)
}

With only these two parameters defined, all of my exercises are the
same staffsize and fill the same width of page. If you're interested
you can see the source code and pdf here:
