So is that a yes or no? :) What I am trying to avoid a scheme-code implementation in my .ly file simply because as a 'normal' user all that stuff is hard for me. I expect I am not the only one who struggles with knowing when to use a Grob and/or context (or which one even) the properties are not such a big deal once you figure the context out - some \overrides seem to not need a grob and some do but anyway - to give you some context of where this came from http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=375 The construct uses notes = { \repeat unfold 5 { f,16 e' d' c' } \repeat unfold 5 { a16 c, e, c } \repeat unfold 5 { b16 f' c' g' } \repeat unfold 5 { d,16 g c f } \repeat unfold 5 { e,16 g b d } \repeat unfold 5 { g,16 a b c } \repeat unfold 5 { \stemDown d,16 a' e' b' } } damping = \repeat unfold 7 { %% default beam damping is 1: \override Beam #'damping = #1 s4^"1 (def.)" \override Beam #'damping = #2 s^"2" \override Beam #'damping = #4 s^"4" \override Beam #'damping = #-3 s^"-3" \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 s^"+inf.0" } And then have the construct << \notes \damping >> This works but if I want two or more overrides for the same group of notes it breaks down. So I was looking how to apply a 'single' instance of an override with the same context but for multiple properties. I realise that this might not be the best way for 'day to day' scores but I can see some user for this for theoretical pieces or simplifying the creation of musical exercises for instance.
