9.3 The \override command

In the previous section, we have already touched on a command that changes layout details: the \override command. In this section, we will look in more detail at how to use the command in practice. The general syntax of this command is:

\override context.layout_object #'layout_property = #value

This will set the layout_property of the specified layout_object, which is a member of the context, to the value.

• Navigating the program reference

• Determining the grob property
