You can indeed accomplish this, with a little bit of rearranging. \paper blocks
can go a few
different places, one of which is a \bookpart And as \bookparts are by default
separated
by a page break, and you are (apparently) wanting a page break between the two
movements, this is a bit of two birds, one stone thing here.
Basically, put each movement into it's own \bookpart. You can then give each
movement
it's own paper block, while still having a global paper block if you want one.
The bookparts
will also take care of the page break for you, so that can be removed. You'll
end up with a
structure something like:
\version "2.24.1"
\paper { global \paper settings }
FirstMovement = { ... }
\bookpart {
\paper { \paper setting specific to the 1st movement }
\score {
\new Staff { \FirstMovement }
\layout {}
}
}
SecondMovement = { ... }
\bookpart {
\paper { \paper setting specific to the 2nd movement }
\score {
\new Staff { \SecondMovement }
\layout {}
}
}
\bookpart sections can have their own \paper block, even their own \header
blocks. For a
