Is there any way I can change its value within the Score or Staff
context, and have it take effect at Voice level? I did try
\set MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = 1
Look at \set in the index! This will direct you to 9.2.3. The VERY
FIRST EXAMPLE of \set involves changing a property at the Score level!
Of course, for expand-limit you probably want \override instead.
On a more general level, the use of \override seems quite common. It
would be nice to be able to change the defaults - there are various
places where lilypond and I disagree as to what is "normal". I don't
remember seeing anything about it in the manual,
4.6 Style sheets ?!
9.2.6 Changing context default settings ?!?!
Anthony, please read the manual. I've spent literally over *100 HOURS*
writing and updating manual since April. When people complain about the
lack of info in the docs, when that info is clearly *IN* the docs -- in
some cases, when that info has been in the docs for years -- I really
wonder why I bother.
I mean, if I stopped working on lilypond and worked at McDonalds serving
fries, I would have made over $800 in that time. That would cover two
months of rent.
