i confirm that it works for me. Thanks!

ok...
Out of curiosity, would this be possible to add in a reasonable way or
is it totally wrong? From a users' perspective, it would be great to
have such overrides in \layout, because then i'd have 3 separate and
independent areas of my file:
- music in variables or \include files
- style decisions in \layout block.
- score structure that doesn't contain any of the above and can be
freely changed.

It doesn't work:
\score {
\new Voice \with { \settingsFrom \override NoteHead #'color = #red } { b b }
}
produces
../bah.ly:2:37: error: syntax error, unexpected \override
\new Voice \with { \settingsFrom
\override NoteHead #'color = #red } { b b }
If i add a pair of curly braces, i.e.
\score {
\new Voice \with { \settingsFrom { \override NoteHead #'color = #red
} } { b b }
}
then it compiles, but the override isn't applied.
HTH,
Janek
