RE: reverting to default

David,

Thank you for your response.

I am using, as the web site says, the latest stable release, 2.18.2.
Also, the line of code was retrieved not from the manual yet from a search
of
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/.
Changes in syntax can be confusing to me. Consider entering fourth year
French to discover that the syntax of third year had been changed

\revert Trillspanner #'(bound-details left text)

But seriously, what version of LilyPond are you using so that you are still
using that awkward syntax rather than

\override Trillspanner.bound-details.left.text = #'()

and the corresponding

\revert Trillspanner.bound-details.left.text

?  Because it's not just the syntax that's awkward in older versions, it's
also that reverts of subproperties is quite unreliable and may affect
unrelated subproperties.
