Well, redefining paper variables is actually not really advanced.
If you want to understand better what LilyPond does and how you can 
alter the output, you’ll be well advised to read in the Notation 
Reference on the website and collect what information you need – in most 
cases there is an explanation there, except for more extravagant wishes. 
Of course this costs time until you have an overview, but it will reward 
the effort.

Yes. page-count is a paper variable and can only be set in \paper {}.
