RE: How to delete page numbers?

Han-Wen -

Apologies for the misplaced ?.

"Thanks for LilyPond!" was intended.

I play the euphonium and read only treble clef.  Trombone scores transposed
with LilyPond from bass/tenor to treble expand my repertoire considerably.

Thanks for LilyPond!!!

Han-Wen -

You convince me that deciphering the \paper \layout etc functionality is
rather hopeless via experimentation.  I hope the documenters are listening.

BTW, in your first example, using 2.4.3, "linewidth = " is not accepted and
"foobar =" does nothing discernible.  Is there documentation somewhere for
the "#(list" thingie?

Thanks for LilyPond?

\paper and \layout are internally the same objects, and are in fact 
general name spaces
just as \header.  Similarly, you can do

   \header {
      linewidth = 5.0 \cm
      foobar = #(list 2 5 7 'symbol "string")
   }

which -of course- doesn't do anything notable.

The tricky bit with \paper and \layout is that they are nested: 
variables for the
the \layout of a  \score  block default to the value in the \paper 
block. ie., in the next
example, the 2nd score is layout in raggedright mode.

\book {
   \score { ..
     \layout { raggedright = ##f }
   }
   \score  {
     ...
     \layout { }
   }
   \paper {
      raggedright = ##t
   }
}
