Yes, the \revert command is properly explained. My main concern is updating this sentence (after \once we go back to the "current" value, not the default value): >> [...] effective only during the current musical moment before the property >> reverts back to its default value. >> >> It should say something like : "reverts back to its current value (this can >> be >> different from the default if an \override is in effect)." Changing the code example to have an \override in effect (red color) would explicitly show this: after using \once we go back to (red color), not to the context's default (black color). In my opinion this doesn't overly complicate the manual, and might be more clear. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
