Re: documentation question

[Mats Bengtsson]

Not exactly! A \layout{} block can be put both within a \score{} and
before it. If you put it outside the \score{} block, it will apply to
all score blocks after it. The difference between \layout and \paper
is what you can put into them. In \layout{}, you specify things related
to how the music is typeset, whereas \paper{} describes the paper layout
(such as paper size, margins, ...).
