That's exactly what I was looking for. I only upgrade with each stable release,
which is infrequently enough that I can deal with doing this each time I
install a new version. Thanks!

Actually, if you open lily.scm in an editor, look for the text string
paper-size "a4" and change it to paper-size "letter", that will change the
default paper size without having to specify anything on the command line or
source file(s). But the default will go back to A4 each time you install a new
version of Lilypond and get a new version of lily.scm.
On Linux, lily.scm is in
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm if installed as root or the
corresponding path under ~/lilypond if installed in your home dir. Don't know
what the path is on Windows.
