Hi Wim,
From the Notation Reference... 5.3.3 - 5.3.4
"...
\once can be used with \override to affect only the current time step:
    {
      <<
        {
          \override Stem #'thickness = #3.0
          e4 e e e
        } \\ {
          c4    %this is default

          \once \override Stem #'thickness = #3.0
          c4    %this one is changed

        c c     %these two revert to default
        }
      >>
    }
...
...
When several similar items are placed at the same musical moment, the 
\override command cannot be used to modify just one of them – this is 
where the \tweak command must be used. Items which may appear more than 
once at the same musical moment include the following:

    note heads of notes inside a chord
    articulation signs on a single note
    ties between notes in a chord
    tuplet brackets starting at the same time
..."

I'm pleased to have been of help. :)

Bill
