<!-- Although line-width can be set in \layout, it should be set in paper -->
<!-- block, to get page layout right. -->
<!-- Setting indent in \paper block makes not much sense, but it works. -->
<!-- Bit verbose and vague, use examples? -->
<p>The most basic settings influencing the spacing are <code>indent</code> and
<code>line-width</code>. They are set in the <code>\layout</code> block. They
control the indentation of the first line of music, and the lengths of
the lines.
<p>If <code>ragged-right</code> is set to true in the <code>\layout</code> block, then
systems ends at their natural horizontal length, instead of being spread
horizontally to fill the whole line. This is useful for
short fragments, and for checking how tight the natural spacing is.
<p><a name="index-page-layout-2614"></a><a name="index-vertical-spacing-2615"></a>
The option <code>ragged-last</code> is similar to <code>ragged-right</code>, but
only affects the last line of the piece. No restrictions are put on
that line. The result is similar to formatting text paragraphs. In a
paragraph, the last line simply takes its natural horizontal length.
<!-- Note that for text there are several options for the last line. -->
<!-- While Knuth TeX uses natural length, lead typesetters use the same -->
<!-- stretch as the previous line. eTeX uses \lastlinefit to -->
<!-- interpolate between both these solutions. -->
<pre class="example">\layout {
indent = #0
line-width = #150
ragged-last = ##t
}
