Hi Barry, thanks for the answer. I might have been unclear:
In a chamber music piece I'm writing, the first line of the score is (and should be) indented. While working on the score I want to typeset just the last part of the score and use Score.skipTypesetting = ##f in the beginning and set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t in some later part, e.g. after a \pageBreak. lilypond renders this partial score with the first line indented which is suboptimal as the beginning of this page will *not* get indented in the final (non partial) score. I was just proposing to fix that in case it's not very complicated. But as this is not a bug and I can circumvent this easily by setting the indentation to #0 when rendering partial scores I don't really want to start a bikeshed... -- Orm Am Donnerstag, den 13.
