Re: Reorganizing the contents of the \paper block

[Juergen Reuter]

Hi, all!

What about unifying "\paper" and "\layout" into a single "\layout" 
directive, such that in the input language there is no syntactical 
difference any more between \paper and \layout block?  (Of course, in the 
implementation, the different scopes still could be kept.)  Then the place 
where the \layout occurs in the .ly file determines which properties can 
be changed (that is exactly what scopes are about).

Obviously, if someone operates in the wrong scope, i.e. if someone tries 
to change things on score level \layout block which only should be changed 
globally (such as paper margin), lily should emit a warning.

Greetings,
Juergen
