Thank you Aaron. I used a misleading topic, sorry. I wanted a set of layout properties which is shared by all the scores I edit. So I can simply import it with \include.

I thought that it was necessary to replicate these props in all the layout blocks of all the scores. Then I asked for a "Scheme solution"

But this is not true:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.45"
\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
      \override StaffSymbol.color = #red
  }
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
      \override StaffSymbol.line-count = 3
  }
}

<< \new Staff { b'4 } \new Staff { b'4 } >>

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
