Order of precedence
The value of a property which applies at a particular time is determined as follows:
-
if an
\overrideor\setcommand in the input stream is in effect that value is used, -
otherwise the default value taken from a
\withstatement on the context initiation statement is used, -
otherwise the default value taken from the most recent appropriate
\contextblock in the\layoutor\midiblocks is used, - otherwise the LilyPond built-in default is used.
