This has changed in 2.19.60, see 
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/768 (for some discussion 
and the support for it in Frescobaldi.

IIUC the point is that
  "a4" 'landscape
expresses: "paper format: a4", option: landscape (meaning: rotate the 
score to print a landscape format on a "regular" paper), while
  "a4landscape"
refers to "landscape" as a property of the paper itself.

When you print I don't think there's any difference, this surfaces only 
when displayed on screen.
