In Notation Reference 5.3.4 - the \tweak command, the sentence "Tweaking a whole chord *does not do anything *since its music event only acts as a container, and all layout objects are created from events inside of the EventChord:"
is misleading or incorrect. In the example directly following the sentence, it does do something, it affects the entire chord. A possible change to the phrasing would be "Tweaking a whole chord *may not have the expected effect* since its music event only acts as a container, and all layout objects are created from events inside of the EventChord:" Best, Alex
