Ouch. One purpose of implementing \rhythm with a special score-level context 
(StandaloneRhythmScore) was to let overrides in \layout not affect \rhythm if 
written for Score/Staff/Voice while preserving the possibility to do overrides 
on \layout level by modifying 
StandaloneRhythmScore/StandaloneRhythmStaff/StandaloneRhythmVoice. Obviously, I 
overlooked that this falls apart for plain layout variables because there is no 
way to know if setting them for \rhythm is intended.

That said, there aren’t that many paper/layout variables. Setting selected ones 
manually like you suggest could be OK. Maybe also check what happens with very 
long rhythms, do they get broken? Maybe try ly:one-line-auto-height-breaking? I 
didn’t test anything (vacation).
