Hello all, I am used to this topic. And I made up my own tool, which is working for me, but should be called experimental. I always hesitate to post my github link, because its not well formed/documented and a mixup of totally different things ... but there is one engraver, which actually deals with the named situation: https://github.com/jpvoigt/lalily
The edition engraver is used to make overrides in named contexts separate from the music content: %%%%%%% \version "2.16.1" \include "lalily.ly" music = \new Staff \with { \consists \editionEngraver #'(my edition) } \new Voice \with { \consists \editionEngraver #'(my edition) } \repeat unfold 3 \relative c'' { bes4( a) c b } \addEdition master \editionMod master 2 0/4 #'(my edition Voice A) \once \override NoteHead #'color = #red \editionMod master 2 0/4 #'(my edition Voice A) \once \shape Slur #'((0 . 0)(0 . 1)(0 . 1)(0 . 0)) \score { \music \layout { \context { \Score \consists \editionEngraver #'(my edition) } } } %%%%%%% While I was working on a larger project, I didn't update to 2.17 yet. But it will make the input of the path-lists to identify the contexts a lot easier like \editionMod master 2 0/4 my.edition.Voice.A {...} The idea is to have a PDF or printout of the score to publish and I can simply say for example the slur in measure 42 on the second quarter needs a little shaping, without polluting the actual music content with overrides. If I store the music in variables, I can include that file and engrave a score with the needed overrides. (I say overrides, because it might be difficult to use \tweak.) Sometimes I use tags, but they can lead to extraordinary long lines - polluting the input for one engraving task. With my lalily framework I store the music in a file-structure-like tree and call with templates, which are actually music-functions. You find very few basic examples in the examples folder of the project. But thats another topic.
