Not exactly! A \layout{} block can be put both within a \score{} and
before it. If you put it outside the \score{} block, it will apply to
all score blocks after it. The difference between \layout and \paper
is what you can put into them. In \layout{}, you specify things related
to how the music is typeset, whereas \paper{} describes the paper layout
(such as paper size, margins, ...).

I think I figured this out on my own (though I still think the documentation seems a bit vague on the matter):

\layout is for inside the \score block, where \paper is for outside the \score block.

in the documentation for v. 2.4.2 regarding the difference between \paper and \layout (this again!), \paper is described in section 7.5.11, but should that be \layout?

is it possible that some description of the difference between \layout and \paper can make it into the documentation? this is quite confusing.
