Yes.  \overrideBeamSettings was first introduced
in 2.13.4 and was not backported to 2.12.

Carl has re-written the autobeaming code and documentation
for 2.13.29 so we should wait until this is released before
reviewing Urs comment (unless you can compile both LilyPond
and the docs from git).  \overrideBeamSettings is no
longer used in the new autobeaming code introduced in 2.13.29.

If you use precompiled binaries doesn't simply renaming
the lilypond directory work?  It does in Windows, although
you do need admin priviledges to do it.
