Re: Override a StaffSymbol property outside \new Staff { ... } context

[Simon Albrecht]

Hi Paolo,

it seems like you have some very specific setup of lilypond files and 
framework and need a solution that works within that, but you’re trying 
to avoid explaining the whole setup either because it’s too much effort 
or for privacy or similar. From my experience, when I get into that kind 
of situation I have usually ended up in some kind of ‘rabbit hole’ and 
the problem would be easier solved with a different setup in the first 
place.

Can you describe the reason why you need this?

Best, Simon
