I solved the problem. I had a line in the \paper block that I deleted from
my above example because I did not think it was relevant. The line was:
#(set-paper-size "letter")
I had been experimenting with getting the page size to work and this line is
the one recommended in the manual but the one that actually worked was:
papersize = "letter"
Which is the old way of doing it no?
I also forgot to mention that I am using Lilypond 2.2.0 on Mac OS X.
Sorry for the band width.
