Markup commands get a "layout" argument.

You can then access the paper-width variable inside.  Dimensions are in
units depending on staff spaces, so you usually want to adjust for
that.  Which is reasonably easy, given that units are also expressed in
staff spaces.  There may be rounding errors due to that.

#(define-markup-command (print-width layout props unit) (symbol?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
   (format #f "~f ~s" (/ (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'paper-width)
		  (ly:output-def-lookup layout unit)) unit)))

\markup { "Paperwidth is" \print-width #'cm "." }

Get the paper size in scheme

[Robert Kubosz]

Hi everyone!

I am currently creating a template for a book. I want to create a scheme
function, which adapts markup according to paper size. The problem is,
that I don't know how to get current paper size.

AFAIK there is #(set-default-paper-size "paper-size") and I could not
find a variable holding the paper size.

I want to ask you where to find the paper size or how to overpass this
problem?
