The default layer is 1; BarLine and StaffSymbol are exceptions in that they have 'layer set to 0 (along with a few other grobs like LedgerLineSpanner and SpanBar). > @lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2] > a1 a > \once \override Score.BarLine #'color = #white > a a > @end lilypond > > but then found that the staff lines in the NR are not reliably overwritten - > sometimes they are, sometimes they are not.

Hmm, that is rather strange; have you tried testing compilation with BarLine #'layer = #1? I'll try a test compilation myself to see what's going on.
