RE: Ineffective \override

[Fairchild]

Mats -

Thanks for the response.  Maybe my fog is beginning to lift.

The first link you gave says the syntax is:
\override <context>.<layout object> #'<layout property> [ = #<value>]

Experimenting demonstrates <context>. isn't always required, though it is
required for Staff.BarLine - why is still hidden in the fog.

Staff.LedgerLineSpanner doesn't seem to work, though
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-interna
ls/Ledger_005fline_005fengraver.html#Ledger_005fline_005fengraver implies it
ought to.

                                      - Bruce
