Re: why doesn't this override work?

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you check out in the program reference which context handles
the metronome marks, i.e. wich context contains the
Metronome_mark_engraver, you will notice that it's the Score context.
Your \override command only sets the property in the Voice context,
which is far too deep down in the context hierarchy. Try
\override Staff.MetronomeMark ...
