The problem is that \propertyTweak is a programming tool, not a user
tool. The user will be better off using \tweak/\override explicitly
where it is appropriate: something like
\lyrics { \tweak color #red Lyrics.LyricText Hi! }
\lyrics { \propertyTweak color #red Lyrics.LyricText Hi! }
will yield entirely different results.
\propertyTweak works on either music expressions or property paths and
thus is a fine building block for functions like \hide and \omit .
Again, this is the kind of information discussed at rare times on the
developer list where probably also the current semantics have been
finetunes in discussions. But we don't have an obvious place in our
docs for it.
