I just watched the vids. One thing I appreciate is the pages layout
possibilities.
It would be great if LP had something like:
\paper {
%defaults settings:
right-margin = 10
left-margin = 10
%specific page settings:
\page #1 {
right-margin = 20
left-margin = 20
}
\page #2 {
right-margin = 30
left-margin = 30
}
}
