I use the following for ly2dvi:

        ly2dvi --set=papersize="letter" filename.ly
        dvips -o filename.ps -t letter -D 600 filename.dvi

And when I'm using lilypond-book, I just put letterpaper in the
documentclass and/or geometry statements.

I don't print the manual; I use the online version.  I agree there
should be a way to do it in letter size.  I would think there would be
a way to use the options above to override any A4 directives in the
files.

I put most of the lilypond I do on my website, where it's used by
people with all kinds of paper sizes, so I prefer not to specify the
paper size in my lilypond files.
