Quoting David Kastrup <d...@gnu.org>:

What is wrong with specifying the paper size you want in the \paper
block?

I want to make the scores available to everybody. I want users across the world to be able to find the music, create the PDF and print it with no problems on the paper they have.

Specifying \paper would make the choice for the users. Printers might ask for paper that is not readily available. Actually, Mutopia doesn't want \paper to be specified.

More often than not, the global staff size and manual tweaks are set to
achieve a certain page layout.  If LilyPond changed its behavior on
different computers, stuff would stop working without the user having a
clue that this was not intended output.

Now that's a strong argument against LC_PAPER. I'm guilty of making such tweaks too.
