AFAIK, indent is a \layout thing. It's included in the example in
10.5.3 Score layout.
It works in a \paper block also...
Hmm.
. We have keywords `ragged-last' and `ragged-last-bottom' which
appear to do exactly the same according to the descripion. Why?
Sorry? 10.4.2 states that ragged-last-bottom affects the spread of
systems across the last page in the piece. 10.5.7 states that
ragged-last is like ragged-right, but only for the last line of the
piece. Are either of these unclear?
It's not unclear. One of them is completely redundant! Anything
within \layout is for the current piece, and anything within \paper is
for the complete document. We simply don't need two keywords.
`ragged-last' is fully sufficient.
ragged-last: horizontal spacing, like ragged-right.
ragged-last-bottom: vertical spacing.
Unless I've completely misunderstood them, they do different things.
I strongly suggest to unify the documentation of \paper and
\layout! Is there a reason to have them separated?
The separation is to keep physical stuff (paper size, margins, etc)
separate from layout (size, spacing, etc). I thought it made
sense... it doesn't look good to you?
Not really. AFAIK, \layout has two functions, namely to set up local
layout parameters and to set up contexts (with \context). While doing
the former you can use all (or almost all?) keywords from \paper.
Hmm. I'd like to get some info from people who know more about
lilypond here -- I'm not very clear about \paper vs. \layout, which is
one reason why I avoided doing anything to this chapter for so long.
Maybe it makes sense to separate this into two different commands...
... but not right before 2.8 is released. :)
Cheers,
