Ok I am now getting both unconfused and confused.
But both paper and layout deal with layout.
Up to version 2.2, page layout and score layout was all
lumped together into \paper{...}. Now, there's more
structure to it. The intuitive notion is that \paper{...}
only deals with the page sizes, margins, and other page
layout issues that apply to the full book, whereas
\layout{...} deals with the layout within each \score{...}.
I see that structure in lilypond is not a
documentation structure. ie a programmers structure.
If I were to build a document I would have formatting
for the page or the entire document and formatting for
the section.
My confusion is that lilypond leave the creation of
sections etc to the user in a way.
The logic is not one of nesting I gather but how
things are processed, as in python where each part is
processed going down the page and inner brackets are
done in a certain order.
I could then have I gather
layout anywhere in a document.
I would hate to hazard a guess that paper could also
appear anywhere?
What happens is that the terms become unclear and the
usage blurry.
I agree completely that this is unclear and have requested
clarifications a number of times.
