You can indeed accomplish this, with a little bit of rearranging. \paper blocks can go a few different places, one of which is a \bookpart And as \bookparts are by default separated by a page break, and you are (apparently) wanting a page break between the two movements, this is a bit of two birds, one stone thing here. Basically, put each movement into it's own \bookpart. You can then give each movement it's own paper block, while still having a global paper block if you want one. The bookparts will also take care of the page break for you, so that can be removed. You'll end up with a structure something like: \version "2.24.1" \paper { global \paper settings } FirstMovement = { ... } \bookpart { \paper { \paper setting specific to the 1st movement } \score { \new Staff { \FirstMovement } \layout {} } } SecondMovement = { ... } \bookpart { \paper { \paper setting specific to the 2nd movement } \score { \new Staff { \SecondMovement } \layout {} } } \bookpart sections can have their own \paper block, even their own \header blocks.
