So, do i understand correctly that \offset could have a syntax like

\offset grob-property-path value music

And then, if grob-property-path contained only property,
the function would be used as a tweak (with "music" being
what's tweaked), and if the function was being used as an
override (grob-property-path contains a grobname), "music"
would be sort-of-unused?

best,
