We had recently a question about support for legal and ledger paper sizes, see my answer earlier today on lilypond-user. I have patched the lilypond script to include that support but send it here as a patch instead of submitting it directly to CVS to make sure you agree on it.
One complication, as mentioned in the earlier mail today is that dvips thinks of 'ledger' paper as having landscape orientation. This means that the script would have to check extra for the ledger papersize and the extra flag -tlandscape to dvips to compensate for the default. I prefer to replace 'ledger' with 'tabloid' wich is the same paper size but with portrait orientation. See also http://www.metric.fsworld.co.uk/si_paper.htm for further support of this choice. Consequently, we should rename the old ledger-init.ly to tabloid-init.ly. (I didn't manage to include the addition and removal of files in the patch from cvs diff, so you don't see it in the attachment.)
Another minor complication was that the geometry package doesn't know about tabloid/ledger papers. This means that we have to use papersize={width,height} instead of a option like 'legalpaper'. Since such an option cannot be issued to \documentclass, I had to move the paper size option to the \geometry command.
Comments?
