     Hi,

While I have no clue about where \change is actually defined (as
it isn't a music function), you may want to have a look at
lily/change-iterator.cc, lily-change-sequence-iterator.cc as well as
scm/ly-syntax-constructors.scm line 155.

That said, changing a grob's context is very different from
changing a context's parent. I don't know where typesetting
decisions would then be made nor the precise consequences
it would actually entail.

Best,
