Hi Peter,

see

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling

set-default-paper-size must be called at top-level, out of the paper 
block; the alternative is to use set-paper-size in the paper block:

#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)
\paper {
  ...
}

%% or

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)
  ...
}


HTH,
Alexander
