Hi, what about specifying paper size, layout, global staff size, etc. in a separate file, say defs.ly, and \include it at the very beginning of the actual score file? This file would then serve as a kind of (very primitive) style sheet. You still could override e.g. global staff size immediately after the \input in the score file.
What I could imagine to be useful is a command line option for including an additional file (like the above defs.ly) at the very beginning of the score file. Still, even that should be already possible by (abusing) the -i option: just say "-i defs.ly" and put '\input "init.ly"' at the very beginning of the defs.ly file (untested).
