Yes, indeed, thank you very much! With it I could for now complete my
function for a highly configurable object to denote the reference key
in harmonic analysis.

The following code produces the (non-sensical) attached result. It is
also a first demonstration of the new "properties/property
sets/presets" feature I'm right now finalizing for openLilyLib.
If you want to check it our yourself, the code is in oll-core (branch
'properties') and anaLYsis (branch 'harmony-initial'). The full
implementation of the function (also with property sets in action) can
be seen in 
https://github.com/openlilylib/analysis/blob/harmony-initial/harmony/ref-key.ily
When a function is created with the with-property-set macro arguments
are type-checked against the property set, defaults are given,
properties can be changed globally, in presets or locally in a call.
Within a function there's a function 'property' available to retrieve
the current property value. There's also a function 'use-preset' (not
used in this example, which works together with a set of preset filters
to determine whether a function should be "used" based on the given
presets. This can be used to selectively activate functions, for
example to hide them until needed or to highlight them on demand. The
Frames, Arrows, and Highlighters modules of anaLYsis are the first
real-world examples for this new functionality, which I'm pretty
excited about.

\definePreset \with {
  parent = default
  box-type = ellipse
  box-padding = 0.3
  space-before-separator = 0.7
} analysis.harmony.ref-key one

\definePreset \with {
  parent = default
  accidental-size = 4
  space-before-accidental = -0.5
} analysis.harmony.ref-key two
