Hi David,

well, we have
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/spanners#using-the-line_002dspanner_002dinterface

Could you suggest on the bug-list something to improve it?
I'm a non-native speaker ...

In general, the bound-details-property is a list of lists. With
possible settings for (pseudo-code)
'(
  (left <settings-1>)
  (left-broken <settings-2>)
  (right <settings-3>)
  (right-broken <settings-4>)
)
I think, possible key-value-settings are explained quite well in the
above linked doc.

Of course it's possible but quite tedious to always enter the whole
list. Therefore, we have the dotted-list syntax for nested properties,
which modifies a single entry in the (default-)list, like`
bound-details.left-broken.text'

Btw, there was a problem with reverting overrides for bound-details.
David Kastrup fixed it some time ago.


HTH,
  Harm
