Re: \include "*.ly" for only part of a score

[Alex Loomis]

In general it's best practice to keep includes at the top of the file, so I 
would do it like this:

%file custom.ly
varA = %letter paper; can't check syntax on my ipod so not going to try
varB = %ragged right

%your file
\version "2.18.0"
\include "custom.ly"
\paper{ \varB }
etc.
