Really? I always thought that \revert would simply set the prop back to its 
default value (as opposed to undoing just the last override). Actually, I had 
wished several times that \override and \revert would simply work on a stack 
of settings, so that one can easily restore the previous setting. However, it 
doesn't work that way.

Cheers,
Reinhold
