[Denemo-devel] The staff indentation and the layout block.

[Richard Shann]

I have been looking into the \header{}, \paper{} and \layout{} blocks
and their meaning in LilyPond, with a view to completing the set of
DenemoDirectives so that you can easily customize the LilyPond output
from scripts. I've come across the fact that with the present Denemo
code you can change the indent of the first staff of a piece, which Nils
was asking about recently:

\layout {indent = 0.0}

is the magic needed to get rid of it altogether, and it can be put in
the Movements->Change Properties->lilypond_before field. I think it then
applies to *all* the movements in the piece; I think that if instead the
fragment is placed inside a scoreblock it applies only to the one
movement.
My plan is to replace the lilypond_before etc fields with
DenemoDirectives.
