\layout has another function, although it may be a special case of one
of its other uses. If a \score block contains a \midi block the
\layout block is needed if PDF output is also desired.
Ah right. I remember that coming up a while back.
OK, duly noted. If there's support for the layout + paper -> settings
proposal, then we'll have to find a way to tell lily to produce a PDF
even when there's no \settings block. Sounds like a good candidate for
a commandline switch.
