Re: Override note properties in markup,note or rhythm

[| || | |]

Thank you for the really comprehensive answer! You solved a few other 
problems I was struggling with in the process.

I don't get why this kind of diversity with overriding properties would 
have any purpose for a user. I mean, I see there are different sizes of 
notes between general score and tempo, but it's only that.

Cheers!
