My feelings exactly, and a lot of the music I set is 19c or early 20c. If my defaults don't match lily's, it's not easy at all to over-ride them :-( witness my repeated moaning as I try to set Brass Band parts - which are all very self-consistent. We have our own traditions which don't mesh well with lily.
