I had no clue I can simply throw paper variables in a layout block too ...
You can't in general.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/the-layout-block.html
says:
The |\paper| variables that can appear in a |\layout| block, with
default values taken from the |\paper| block are:
* |line-width|, |ragged-right| and |ragged-last| (see |\paper|
variables for widths and margins
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/horizontal-spacing-paper-variables#paper-variables-for-widths-and-margins>)
* |indent| and |short-indent| (see |\paper| variables for shifts and
indents
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/horizontal-spacing-paper-variables#paper-variables-for-shifts-and-indents>)
* |system-count| (see |\paper| variables for line breaking
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/other-paper-variables#paper-variables-for-line-breaking>)
This kind of makes sense, considering that
i) system-count, indent, line-width etc. can obviously differ from
\score to \score,
ii) every \score can have its own \layout,
whereas
iii) things like margins, footers etc. (and also ragged-bottom) are, so
to speak, properties of the "paper", not of single scores.
But this logic it's a bit inconvenient that fonts definitions, staff
size etc. are in the \paper block, because they might reasonably be
changed on a per-score basis. (There is layout-set-staff-size, but it
has some well-known bugs.)
What causes me trouble me most often is the fact that
system-system-spacing seems to work only at \paper level. Why isn't this
a \layout property?
