4.2.1 The \layout
block
While the \paper
block contains settings that relate to the
page formatting of the whole document, the \layout
block
contains settings for score-specific layout. To set score layout
options globally, enter them in a toplevel \layout
block.
To set layout options for an individual score, enter them in a
\layout
block inside the \score
block, after the
music. Settings that can appear in a \layout
block
include:
- the
layout-set-staff-size
scheme function, - context modifications in
\context
blocks, and -
\paper
variables that affect score layout.
The layout-set-staff-size
function is discussed in the next
section, Setting the staff size. Context modifications are
discussed in a separate chapter; see
Modifying context plug-ins and
Changing context default settings. The \paper
variables that can appear in a \layout
block are:
-
line-width
,ragged-right
andragged-last
(see\paper
variables for widths and margins) -
indent
andshort-indent
(see\paper
variables for shifts and indents) -
system-count
(see\paper
variables for line breaking)
Here is an example \layout
block:
\layout { indent = 2\cm \context { \StaffGroup \override StaffGrouper #'staff-staff-spacing #'basic-distance = #8 } \context { \Voice \override TextScript #'padding = #1 \override Glissando #'thickness = #3 } }
