You could use something like
\usepackage[hmargin=10mm,top=5mm,bottom=6mm,headsep=4mm,footskip=4mm]{geometry}
I'm not sure if it gives exactly the same layout and the result may
also depend on what version of the geometry package you use, but I
took the numerical values from the LilyPond initialization file
scm/paper.scm
