yes. However, \layout settings default to what is in the \paper block,
so ragged-right may also be defined in the \paper{} block.
OK.
Hm. So ragged-right can live in the *\layout* block (and have
score-level scope). Or ragged-right can live in the *\paper* block
(and have file-level scope).
Would it make more sense to have the idea that ragged-right only ever
live in a \layout block, together with the companion idea that there
can be both score-level \layout blocks and also one file-level \layout
block?
