I actually tried a \paper block and to no avail so that's why I'm stumped.
I tried it in layout and outside in its' own block nada.
I'll reread the section you suggest but there's just something askew...
Thanks for responding.

Hi Jay,
I think you need to set a \paper section to contain your page margins bits.
The NR says
"The \paper variables that can appear in a \layout block are:
line-width, ragged-right and ragged-last (see \paper variables for widths
and margins)
indent and short-indent (see \paper variables for shifts and indents)
system-count (see \paper variables for line breaking)"
A good read of Section 4.1 of the Notation Reference shows what goes
where...
Hope this helps
Regards
Bill
Hi Jay,
Try placing the following immediately after the line
#(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #t)
in your file.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
#(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'landscape)
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
%{
This set to 16, rather than 20, since 20 gives a compilation error about being unable to fit music on the page - compressing music to fit.
Probably because you have so many instruments :)
%}
\paper
{
indent = 30 %these are, by default, mm
short-indent = 25
%left-margin = 30
right-margin = 20
top-margine = 10
bottom-margin = 10
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Adjust values to suit.
Also, move the \layout block outside the \score block and delete 'all' its content
Hope this helps/works!
Also note that you've misspelled "top-margin".
