There are two options when uploading the script to LSR - "standalone"
and "large".  You can see the settings if you find the snippet in the
snippet database (https://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/list.php?type=snippet) and
double-click on it.

For example, a snippet called "Using non-standard clef positions and
adding customized clef definitions" takes the whole page.  That snippet
has "standalone" set.  Likewise, "Expressive headword" is standalone.

I believe "large" is something else, but "standalone" is what you are
looking for.
