+Global settings can be kept in separate files, which are selected

+@example
+lilypond -dinclude-settings=MY_SETTINGS.ly MY_SCORE.ly
+@end example
+
+Groups of settings such as page size, font or type face can be stored
+in separate files. This allows different editions from the same score
+as well as standard settings to be applied to many scores, simply by
+specifying the proper settings file.
+
+This technique also works well with the use of style sheets.
