Re: spaces must be inserted around property commands?
Well, it's only specific to Lyrics. Earlier in the section, it states: A word or syllable of lyrics begins with an alphabetic character, and ends with any space or digit… Any character that is not a digit or white space will be regarded as part of the syllable; one important consequence of this is that a word can end with }… Am 15.12.2008 um 09:02 schrieb Mark Polesky: NR 2.1.2 Entering lyrics: Lyrics explained states... Similarly, a period which follows an alphabetic sequence is included in the resulting string.

Yes, this is true, but only for overrides which are entered *directly* in \lyricmode. It is not necessary for other overrides or for overrides entered as part of a variable which is then applied in \lyricmode. The general syntax of this command is: \override Context.LayoutObject #'layout-property = #value This is the general syntax, but the rider above needs to be applied when entering overrides directly in \lyricmode.

This is already documented, but making it clearer is on my TODO-list for when I get a life (ETA 2 weeks or so).
