Correct. In stack terms, \revert is a "pop" while "\override" is "pop, push" (each context has its own stack). In contrast, "\temporary\override" is just "push". So a sequence of \temporary\override \override \override \override \revert on the same property leaves it in the original state. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
