NR § 4.2.1 The \layout block
explains how to do this. Either attach the \layout to the \score block
or, more flexible, assign it to a variable, and reference the variable
in the score's \layout. The examples in this section show how to
construct the \layout block thus, and § 4.2.2 example "2." shows how
to attach \layout to \score.
In this manner, you can combine global layout options with
score-specific ones.

David.
