What paper sizes are available in the US for orchestras to print parts themselves?
My guess is that Letter is not an option.

Re: Parts paper size in US
No, the smallest we would accept was 9X12 (inches) with a 7mm staff.
Preferred size was 10X13 (same as a standard Kalmus part) but we had to have that custom cut. However, many professional orchestra libraries use this size.
9.5X13 is also common.
I think G. Schirmer used to use a very large size, around 11X14, but i don't think that is the case any more.
