Wow. that is extremely detailed. And made me totally space out while
reading it -- and I think I have a good grasp of lilypond. Not sure how
well that information would help a mildly experienced beginner. Extremely
correct documentation is great, don't get me wrong, but I think juggling
the paragraphs around on this page may make it more easily digested:

Might I suggest moving the 2nd to last paragraph to the beginning of that
section? Or at the latest as a 2nd paragraph? For me, that's the most
important piece of information on that page -- \set applies to Contexts and
\override to Grobs. Armed with that bit of info, the rest of the text jumps
into place.

Regards,
sb
