Re: paper statements in score

[Mats Bengtsson]

In principle, you can do
\begin{lilypond}
\score{...}
\paper{...}
\end{lilypond}

However, most of the paper variables you mention in your
example below will not be taken into account when you use
lilypond-book, since each score line is typeset as a single
EPS file and if you want to affect what happens between the
score lines, then you have to do that in LaTeX, by defining
the LaTeX function \betweenLilyPondSystem which is called
between each system. See the manual.
