Han-Wen -
You convince me that deciphering the \paper \layout etc functionality is
rather hopeless via experimentation. I hope the documenters are listening.
BTW, in your first example, using 2.4.3, "linewidth = " is not accepted and
"foobar =" does nothing discernible. Is there documentation somewhere for
the "#(list" thingie?
Thanks for LilyPond?

\paper and \layout are internally the same objects, and are in fact
general name spaces
just as \header. Similarly, you can do
\header {
linewidth = 5.0 \cm
foobar = #(list 2 5 7 'symbol "string")
}
which -of course- doesn't do anything notable.
The tricky bit with \paper and \layout is that they are nested:
variables for the
the \layout of a \score block default to the value in the \paper
block. ie., in the next
example, the 2nd score is layout in raggedright mode.
\book {
\score { ..
\layout { raggedright = ##f }
}
\score {
...
\layout { }
}
\paper {
raggedright = ##t
}
}
