Why is it that I can use, for example:

\once \override Slur #'direction = #DOWN

or

but

\once \slurDown or \once \slurUp

Generates a syntax error. The same happens with stemUp and stemDown, tieUp
and tieDown, etc.

I'm using 2.12.2.

I've only seen \once used with \override or \set -- some digging in 
the scm folder would probably reveal why.


It's rather a matter of a limitation in the input syntax, which does not
allow for a macro to follow after \once.
