There is no content because the section has been commented out; now we
should fix that --it is prefixed by a TODO note. Here is the original
text:
[Documentation/notation/changing-defaults.itely]
@node set versus override
@subsection @code{\set} vs. @code{\override}
@c TODO -- This section is probably unnecessary now.
@ignore
We have seen two methods of changing properties: @code{\set} and
@code{\override}. There are actually two different kinds of
properties.
@code{fontSize} is a special property: it is equivalent to
entering @code{\override ... #'font-size} for all pertinent
objects. Since this is a common change, the special
property (modified with @code{\set}) was created.
@end ignore
--
The @ignore / @end ignore pair is what makes the text to be invisible.
