Second question: why do the top-level

 \layout { ragged-right = ##t }

and

 \paper { ragged-right = ##t }

have exactly the same effect on the output in the following file?


%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.11.16"

% these have exactly the same effect, no matter which one is commented out

%\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }

\score {
  \new Staff {
     c'1 \break c'1
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff {
     d'1 \break d'1
  }
  \layout { ragged-right = ##f }
}

%%% END %%%


I'm used to thinking of ragged-right as a "layout setting". But,
apparently, ragged-right can go in either the (top-level) \paper or
(top-level) \layout block equally. Why is this allowed? Is there some
benefit?
