Now my question is... does the order of the lines matter at all? I'm assuming they do — e.g., if you don't change the \name until after changing some \override, there'll be confusion — but does anyone know for certain what the precedence must be?
The settings in the \context {} block are saved as a group at the same time, so the following example modifies Staff rather than Voice.
Inside the \context {} block, the settings take effect in order, so the following example turns the staff lines red.
\version "2.12.2" \layout { \context { \Staff \override StaffSymbol #'color = #blue \name Voice \override StaffSymbol #'color = #red \name Staff } } \relative c' { c } Whatever you do, don't do this: \version "2.12.2" \layout { \context { \Staff \name Voice } } \relative c' { c } I'm not sure what it's doing, but it is taking a long time. :-) -- Dan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
