Changing ClusterSpanner #'style in the middle of a piece.

[v!ictor address@hidden]

Hello Developers,

Some weeks ago I sent the following question about ClusterSpanners to the users list but got no replies. Maybe one of you can give me a technical explanation or solution to the problem.

I'm wanting to go back and forth between different ClusterSpanner #'style (s) in the middle of a score, but Lilypond seem to ignore all but the first style setting.
Is it not possible to change the style once it's been set? Am I doing something wrong?

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:

%%%% START %%%%%
\version "2.11.33"
{

\override ClusterSpanner #'style = #'leftsided-stairs
\makeClusters{<c' g'>8 <c' d'>8}
\override ClusterSpanner #'style = #'ramp
% HERE I EXPECT THE FOLLOWING TO BE RAMP CLUSTERS, BUT THEY ARE STILL LEFTSIDED-STAIRS.
\makeClusters{<c' g'>8 <c' d'>8}

}
%%%% END %%%%%

I also tried putting the override inside the \makeClusters, but it makes no difference:
%%%% START %%%%%
\version "2.11.33"
{

\makeClusters{ \override ClusterSpanner #'style = #'leftsided-stairs
      <c' g'>8 <c' d'>8
      \override ClusterSpanner #'style = #'ramp
      % HERE I EXPECT THE FOLLOWING TO BE RAMP CLUSTERS, BUT THEY ARE STILL LEFTSIDED-STAIRS.
      <c' g'>8 <c' d'>8
      }

}
%%%% END %%%%%

I wonder if this is similar to trying to change the number of lines of a Staff in the middle of a piece, for which it is necessary to use the \stopStaff and \startStaff....

Thanks,

Victor.
