\overrides in themselves are not so hard to understand, but in many cases,
the scheme code that is needed in the construction seems more complicated
than necessary for simple tasks -- it takes a lot of work, looking up
things to get things right. Besides, once one draws in \set and \tweak
along with \override, it's not so simple anymore...
