So ragged-right can live in the *\layout* block (and have score-level scope). Or ragged-right can live in the *\paper* block (and have file-level scope). Would it make more sense to have the idea that ragged-right only ever live in a \layout block, together with the companion idea that there can be both score-level \layout blocks and also one file-level \layout block?
Question for anyone who can answer: are there *any* settings that *can* go in a score-level \layout block but *can not* go in the top-level \paper block? -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED]
