Just so I am clear, you *don't *want to do something like this:
\version "2.20.0"
paperGlobal = \paper {
indent = 0
}
paperGlobalLine = \paper {
\paperGlobal
line-width = 10 \cm
}
paperGlobalLineCategory = \paper {
paperGlobalLine
system-system-spacing.basic-distance = 30
}
\paper {
\paperGlobalLineCategory
}
\relative c' {
c1 \break
c1
}
