I would like to know why the linewidth and textheight 
are different for every paper size:

> % paper.ly
> 
> linewidth20 = \hsize - 2.5 * \staffheight;
> textheight20 = \vsize - 5.0 * \staffheight;
> linewidth = \staffheight/20.0 * \linewidth20;
> textheight = \staffheight/20.0 * \textheight20;
> 
> indent = \linewidth / 14.0;

This makes a linewidth of 18 cm. for paper20 and a 
linewidth of about 15 cm. for a paper16. 

What I expect is to keep the same linewidth and 
textheight but change the size of the music inside,
so I had to make my own "paper.ly"

> % paper.ly
> linewidth = 18 \cm;
> textheight = 25 \cm;

What's the reason for changing linewidth and textheight?
