That works. Thanks!

Actually that's quite clearly what it says in the documentation.[1]

It says also: "If the symbol landscape is supplied as argument to set-
default-paper-size, the pages will be rotated 90 degrees, and line
widths will be set longer correspondingly."

Does this mean that 'landscape does NOT work with set-paper-size but
only with set-default-paper-size? In other words, is it not possible to
achieve the same by using 
  
  #(set-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)

in the \paper section? I tried it and tried placing the section both
inside and outside the \score section, but I always got a portrait page.
If so, maybe that could be stressed in the "7.5.10 Paper size" part of
the documentation[1]?
