+The following variables are effective only when @code{page-breaking}
+is set to @code{ly:page-turn-breaking}. Page breaks are then chosen
+to minimize the number of page turns. Since page turns are required
+on moving from an odd-numbered page to an even-numbered one, a
+layout in which the last page is odd-numbered will usually be
+favoured. Places where page turns are preferred can be indicated
+manually by inserting @code{\allowPageTurn} or automatically by

+
+If there are insufficient choices available for making suitable page
+turns, LilyPond may insert a blank page either within a score, between
+scores (if there are two or more scores), or by ending a score on an
+even-numbered page. The values of the following three variables may

+
+Multiple @code{\layout} blocks can be entered as toplevel expressions.
+This can, for example, be useful if different settings are stored in
+separate files and included optionally. Internally, when
+a @code{\layout} block is evaluated, a copy of the current
+@code{\layout} configuration is made, then any changes defined within
+the block are applied and the result is saved as the new current
+configuration. From the user's perspective the @code{\layout} blocks
+are combined, but in conflicting situations (when the same property
+is changed in different blocks) the later definitions take precedence.
+
+For example, if this block:
+
+@example
+\layout @{
+ \context @{
+ \Voice
+ \override TextScript.color = #magenta
+ \override Glissando.thickness = #1.5
@}
+@}
+@end example
+
+is placed after the one from the preceding example the @code{'padding}
+and @code{'color} overrides for @code{TextScript} are combined, but
+the later @code{'thickness} override for @code{Glissando} replaces
+(or hides) the earlier one.
+
+@code{\layout} blocks may be assigned to variables for reuse later,
+but the way this works is slightly but significantly different from
+writing them literally.
+
+If a variable is defined like this:
+
+@example
+layoutVariable = \layout @{
\context @{
\Voice
- \override TextScript #'padding = #1
- \override Glissando #'thickness = #3
+ \override NoteHead.font-size = #4
@}
@}
@end example
+it will hold the current @code{\layout} configuration with the
+@code{NoteHead.font-size} override added, but this combination
+is @emph{not} saved as the new current configuration. Be aware
+that the @q{current configuration} is read when the variable is
+defined and not when it is used, so the content of the variable
+is dependent on its position in the source.
+
+The variable can then be used inside another @code{\layout} block,
+for example:
+
+@example
+\layout @{
+ \layoutVariable
+ \context @{
+ \Voice
+ \override NoteHead.color = #red
+ @}
+@}
+@end example
+
+A @code{\layout} block containing a variable, as in the example above,
+does @emph{not} copy the current configuration but instead uses the
+content of @code{\layoutVariable} as the base configuration for the
+further additions. This means that any changes defined between the
+definition and the use of the variable are lost.
+
+If @code{layoutVariable} is defined (or @code{\include}d) immediately
+before being used, its content is just the current configuration plus
+the overrides defined within it. So in the example above showing the
+use of @code{\layoutVariable} the final @code{\layout} block would
+consist of:
+
+@example
+ TextScript.padding = #1
+ TextScript.color = #magenta
+ Glissando.thickness = #1.5
+ NoteHead.font-size = #4
+ NoteHead.color = #red
+@end example
+
+plus the @code{indent} and the @code{StaffGrouper} overrides.
+
+But if the variable had already been defined before the first
+@code{\layout} block the current configuration would now contain
+only
+
+@example
+ NoteHead.font-size = #4 % (written in the variable definition)
+ NoteHead.color = #red % (added after the use of the variable)
+@end example
+
+If carefully planned, @code{\layout} variables can be a valuable tool
+to structure the layout design of sources, and also to reset the
+@code{\layout} configuration to a known state.

There is no convenient mechanism to manually override spacing. The
following work-around may be used to insert extra space into a score,
adjusting the padding value as necessary.
+
@example
- \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn #'padding = #10
+ \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.padding = #10
@end example
No work-around exists for decreasing the amount of space.
@code{SpacingSpanner} object, and hence new @code{\override}s
may be used in that location.

By default, spacing in tuplets depends on various non-duration
factors (such as accidentals, clef changes, etc). To disregard
such symbols and force uniform equal-duration spacing, use
