I read the docs and I still am coming short:
The file structure page uses the phrase:
"music should be inside other expressions"
I gather it means music must be inside other
expressions.
I think we use "should be" and "must" fairly interchangeably.
then it says:
"A .ly file contains any number of toplevel
expressions, where a toplevel expression is one of the
following"
well this is vague. because if some top level elements
are left out the file won't parse while if others are
left out it will.
Well... but only _requirement_ is that there's some music in
the file. And even then I'm not certain that lilypond will give
a parse error.
If a file won't parse, then something else is wrong.
the example given doesn't use a \score {} block, so I
must assume that lilypond no longer requires a score
block?
Correct.
I see a layout block has this replaced the \paper{} ?
Kind-of. See the "Paper output" section in "Output formats".
I am in the mean time still trying to make a layout
with no includes and lyrics.
In addition to reading the manual, you might want to look at
some examples from Mutopia or LSR.
