So we have, for context properties:
\set set prop to value
\unset set prop to default value
\once\set set prop for next operation, then fall back
to current value
For grob properties:
\override pop + push value for prop
\temporary\override push value for prop
\revert pop value for prop
\once\override set (push?) grob prop for next operation, then
fall back (pop?) to current value
Unfortunately, the relevant documentation page
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/set-versus-override
is a bit, eh, empty...
As a musical programmer (programming musician) I would really appreciate
a much simpler push/pop/clear approach, with no distinction between
context and grob properties. Even a \with would be a step forward:
\with property = value { ... }
(not complaints, just thoughts)
