No,that's not true. You can have several layout blocks. Attached is an 
example, where the first block removes the time signature and the second one 
removes the clef.

Actually, I have one large package that sets an overall style for 
professional-looking scores (actually global settings for overall-style and 
another package that changes settings depending on whether it is used for a 
full score or for an instrumental part). This package is supposed to be used 
for multiple projects.

And then each score of a project might need some different settings, too. Of 
course you want to be able to change global settings and per-score settings, 
thus multiple (cascaded) layout blocks are absolutely required for 
professional scores.

Cheers,
Reinhold
