Re: variant on "many syllables to one note"

[Graham King]

Thanks Ted, that works.  

The one remaining problem is restoring the default behaviour of melimas
afterwards:  

The "\once" trick doesn't work.  I've also tried saving and restoring
the default value of melismaBusyProperties in a temporary variable but,
being ignorant of Scheme syntax, I just get a type error.  Likewise, I'm
out of my depth stumbling around with \override and \revert.
