Re: Contexts (Was Re: Set vs. Override - I'm confused)

Hi,
I too find the context/grob property distinction not clear and I did not
find the online doc any help in getting through this barrier of
understanding. It is the one most powerful aspect of Lilypond, but the
one aspect which is treated the most meanly in the introductory docs.
Even user doing basic stuff need to get into settings and stuff when
changing default behaviour so I think it should be touched on earlier in
the documentation.

If the tutorial could be "beefed up" somewhat in this area, I think
there would be far fewer questions regarding how to find tweaks and
settings through the advanced doc, given that users would be armed with
this important information beforehand.

Wish I had the time to do it myself but sadly I do not :(
Good luck to whoever gets the job ;)

Regards,
Ralph
