"3.1.1 Introduction to the LilyPond file structure" has clarified things
 for me. It is a great improvement over what I have read before.

What is the status of the GDP manual - does it contain the whole
documentation, some of which has been rewritten?

The following sentence from this section is helpful :

But I have questions -
 - does the same apply to \layouts (can come before/after/inside score)
 - is there any difference in putting the \header  \layout etc inside or
   outside \score
