The default is specified as a scheme option. In particular in scm/lily.scm the 
paper-size option is defined to "a4" and then later on (in ly/declarations-
init.ly) this option value is used to call set-default-paper-size.

So, you can change the default paper size by either 
-) including set-default-paper-size in one of your include packages,
-) including it in the score,
-) including #(ly:set-option 'paper-size "letter") in your score
-) using -dpaper-size="letter" on the command line
-) etc.

Of course, you could also modify scm/lily.scm directly, but that will be lost 
on a lilypond upgrade...

Cheers,
Reinhold

You can change this
