It's certainly possible to let lilypond-book automatically detect the
text height of the LaTeX document and set the vsize correspondingly.
However, it's not so much use since
1. It's only relevant when you explicitly have a \book{..} in
your .ly code (which it turn is mainly useful to be able to use
\pagebreak in the .ly code)
It also avoids some other problems -- the first few lines are shifted
to the left (relative to the other lines):
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
\begin{lilypond}
\score { \relative c' {
\repeat unfold 8 {c4 c c c } \break
\repeat unfold 8 {d4 d d d } \break
\repeat unfold 8 {e4 e e e } \break
\repeat unfold 8 {f4 f f f } \break
\repeat unfold 8 {g4 g g g } \break
}}
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}
Basically, lilypond-book without \book is only usable for single-line
examples.
That's ok; it's still useful for musicological documents. But as a
mechanism
for publishing music, you need to use \book{}.
2. If you already have some commands in your .ly code that affects the
page size, then they will override the setting done by
lilypond-book,
since lilybook inserts the commands at the top of the code.
The only reason to have such commands is as a workaround for these
bugs. :)
